3. E. CNEORIFOLIA, DC. 



Mr. Baker says, p. 474, "So far it has not been depicted 

 in any Australian publication." In view of figs. 11-16, pi. 

 lx., of part xiii. of my Crit. Rev., I do not understand the 

 statement. 



4. E. Blackburniana, Maiden, ined. 



Mr. Baker, at p. 478, publishes a name which I had 

 sent to him in manuscript, and therefore under the seal of 

 confidence, for it had not been published. This is one of a 

 number of forms that I am dealing with in Crit. Rev. in 

 conjunction with the claims of others for treatment, and I 

 very much regret this premature publication, which can only 

 lead to trouble in the future. 



5. E. calycogona, Turcz. 



Mr. Baker, p. 478, says, "So this should be added to the 

 South Australian flora. " This was already done, as far back 

 as 1903, in Crit. Rev., part iii., p. 83. 



6. E. HEMIPHLOIA, F. V. M- 



Mr. Baker, p. 479, quotes my Crit. Rev., vol. ii., p. 15 

 (i.e., part xi.). Pages 31 and 32 may also be referred to, 

 and also these Trans., xxxii., p. 283. I searched for E. 

 hemiphloia on Eyre Peninsula (including two recorded locali- 

 ties) for a week, but failed to find the species, which is very 

 well known to me as a New South Welshman. I, how- 

 ever, abundantly matched the reputed hemiphloia of Brown, 

 Wilhemi, and Tate, specimens of which I took both on Eyre 

 Peninsula and Kangaroo Island. I could only find white 

 and pink flowering forms of odorata. Mr. Baker's specimens 

 are admittedly doubtful, nor is there hemiphloia at Mount 

 Remarkable. It is impossible to prove a negative in a case 

 like this, that is to say, E. hemiphloia may still be found in 

 some South Australian localities not yet revealed. Botanists 

 will have to choose between : (a) my evidence, the result of a 

 deliberate investigation undertaken in South Australia, in 

 which I collected full suites of specimens, including small 

 logs, compared in the field and herbarium, with the actual 

 specimens collected by those on which the name hemiphloia 

 (as far as South Australia is concerned) was based : and 

 (b) Mr. Baker's remarks. 



7. E. bicolor, A. Cunn. 



This is a species which, at p. 480, Mr. Baker calls E. 

 lar gift or ens, F. v. M. I have already (Crit. Rev., part xi., 

 p. 10) recorded it from South Australia, which Mueller had 

 done before me in the "Eucalyptographia," and Bentham,
