ley) plants. This is by far the most valuable. I have re-arranged 

 it but have not otherwise interfered with it. (b) Some notes on 

 other Western Australian plants; valuable, but not so urgent, (c) 

 Descriptions of Western Australian plants already published by 

 Mr. Fitzgerald. It was evidently the intention of Mr. Fitzgerald 

 to publish (a), (b), and (c) as a complete work, and this would 

 have been very convenient. Of course no scientific journal would 

 republish (c). It is regretted that the present paper was not pub- 

 lished years ago, but financial difficulties apparently stood in the 

 way. 



During the last ten years I obtained a number of specimens of 

 Mr. Fitzgerald's collecting by purchase from a former business 

 partner of his. A few others I had received at odd times from Dr. 

 Steward, Botanist and Plant Pathologist of the Western Australian 

 Department of Agriculture. In April, 1917, I received from Dr. 

 Steward specimens of 53 species now described in this paper. These 

 are in the National Herbarium of Sydney, and the original set is 

 with Dr. Steward at Perth. Many of the species will have to be 

 re-collected before material is available for other herbaria. 



Mr. Fitzgerald's paper deals with one of the important terrae 

 incognitae of Australia. This has been brought home to me fre- 

 quently, as small collections from North- Western Australia are 

 from time to time received. Accordingly, long before I became the 

 trustee of Mr. Fitzgerald's manuscripts, I had prepared a botanical 

 bibliography of the region, which is attached to my Acacia paper 

 {Journ. Boy. Soe. N.8.W.. li., 71 (1917), the chief value of the 

 purely botanical porton of which is based on Mr. Fitzgerald's ma- 

 terial received from Dr. Steward.
