65. A. Luehmanni, F. v. 31., in Fragm, xi., 116 (Liverpool River). 

 A . deltoidea, A . Cunn . (I do not know a Northern Territory locality) . 

 A. setulifem, Benth. (I do not kno^v a Northern Territory locality). 

 A. bivenosa, DC. (I do not know a Northern Territory' locaHty). 

 A. Uiiieura, F. v. M. (I do not know a Northern Territory localitj^). 



66. A. pradongata, F. v. J/., Melbourne Chemist and Druggist, August, 

 1883. Of the locaUties given in the original description, '' near Port Darwin " 

 should be Elizabeth River, near Darwin, and " Adam's Bay" is Adam Bay, 

 a few miles north-east of Darwin. 



A.flavescens, A. Cunn. (He suppresses A. sericata, A. Cmw«., which he 

 believes A.flavescens includes, so this is not an additional record). 



A. brevifolia, Benth. (I do not know a Northern Territory locality). 



67. A. conjunct if olio , F. v. M., in Fragm., xi., 68. (Victoria River, B. 

 Gulliver). 



A . arida, Benth. (I do not know a Northern Territory locality). 



A. leptostachya, Benth. (I do not know a Northern Territory locality). 



A. loxocarpa, Benth. (I do not know a Northern Territory locality). 



A. retinervis, Benth. (I have already commented on th}s species at p. 323, 

 and consider it doubtful in absence of evidence). 



68. A. aulacocarpa, A. Cunn. (Prof. Ewart has it in the Melbourne 

 Herbarium from A. C. Hulls, Escape Cliffs. Of the references to A. aulacocarpa 

 in Journ. Linn. jSoc, iii., 143,the 4. awZacocar^a there quoted by Bentham is 

 A. leptophleba, F. v. J/., while the var. brevifolia. F. i\ 21., is from Suttor 



Desert, Queensland, and not from the Northern Territory). 



A. Biduilli, Benth. (See above, p. 323). 



Mueller omitted the following, which appear to be vahd records prior to the 

 publication of the " Second Census,' apparently through inadvertence : — 



aneura Kempeana. 



crassicarpa (in his original 1859 paper) niinutifoUa. 



estroph ioki ta . sessiliceps . 



Gilesiana. strongylophylla. 



hippuroides. 



As regards State localities ia the Census, Mueller's prefatory remarks at 

 p. viii., of the " First Census of Austrahan Plants " (1882), and not reprinted 

 with the " Second Census," may be read. He points out the unsatis- 

 factoriness of '' X.A." (and indeed other divisions) as botanical provinces. 

 He goes on to say: '" The geogTaphic columns in these pages indicate simph- 

 the occurrence of plants within any of the colonial areas, but have been 

 extended even to such species, \vhich merely may (my italics) pass boundary 

 lines." Mueller then goes on to show the finding of a plant in certain geo- 

 graphical areas may require it to be recorded in an adjacent State if the con- 

 ditions maj' be presumed to be similar. 



I had correspondence with Mueller on this very point, in the course of 

 enquiry as to why certain species came to be recorded for my own State (Ne^^' 

 South Wales), when I could not find records of New South Wales locaUties. In 

 some cases he informed me that the records for Queensland, South Australia, 

 and Victoria ^vore so near the boundary of New South Wales, that thev could
