Range. — The first record of the species is from Wide Bay, Queensland, B. Fl., 

 I.e. The late Revd. B. Schortechini (These Proceedings, viii., 1883, 251) has the 

 folIo\ving interesting note: — "Loranthus Bidwillii, Nerang Creek Heads, on the 

 branches of Callitris cupressiformis Vent. The same mistletoe is more widely 

 spread at Stanthorpe on the same kind of Pine, and at the mouth of the Mary, 

 from which district the original specimen sent by Mr. Bidwill, whose name it 

 bears, probably came." Through the kindness of Professor Ewart of Melbourne, 

 I was able to see the Revd. Schortechini's specimen, which does not differ from 

 the following New South Wales specimens in the National Herbarium, Sydney. 



Neiu South Wales: Wallangarra (J. Staer) ; Baradine, on Callitris robusta 

 (G. Burrow and J. B. Cleland, Botany of the Pilliga, p. 10, N.S.W. For. Dept., 

 Bulletin No. 10, 1920) ; Forked Mountain, Coonabarabran, on Callitris calcarata 

 E.Br. (Dr. H. I. Jensen); on White Pine, C. robttsta (C. B. Meek); Pilliga, on 

 Callitris calcarata (W. A. W. de Beuzeville) ; Warrumbungie Ranges (W.

 Leichhardt's collection) ; Tamworth, on Callitris calcarata (W. M. Caxne) ; Upper

 Rylstone, on Callitris sp. (R. T. Baker, These Proceeding's, ix., 1893, 732, also 

 xsvii., 1902, 541) ; Cox's Gap, on Callitris sp. (R. T. Baker, Id., xxi., 1896, 452) ; 

 Bowan Park, near Cudal, on Callitris calcarata, — flowers pink; fruit globular, 

 bright red (W.F.B.) ; Young, on Black Pine, Callitris calcarata (T. G. Sloane, 

 vide J. J. Fletcher. These Proceeding's, xxxiii., 1908, 291) ; Burren Juck, on 

 Callitris calcarata R.Br. (E. Cheel, These Proceeding's, xxxvii., 1912, p. 137,

 erect habit and narrower leaves.
