Tasmania. 



I have the following note in Journ. Boy. Soc. Tas. (191-4), p. 29 : — " In Part II, 

 p. 71, of my * Critical Revision. ' after drawing attention to the confusion which has 

 grown around the erroneous use of E. hcemastoma for a Tasmanian tree, I say that the 

 name should be dropped. In Part X, p. 321, of the same work, I expressly exclude 

 /:'. hannastoma from Tasmania, and do the same at Part XXXVII of my ' Forest 

 Flora: - 



Tin- following two specimens are not very satisfactory. They were not 

 collected from Tasmania itself, but from Bass's Straits. In Part VI, p. 162, I referred 

 them to /.'. arnygdaliw yar, nitida (which is not perfectly understood), and I hope the 

 matter will be further inquired into.
