328 THE FLORA OF THE NORTHERN TERRITORY. 



safely be attributed to New South Wales. As regards the Victorian-New South 

 Wales Boundary, he informed me that when a plant was found fifteen miles 

 away from the border, he inserted it for both States. I thought this a pity, 

 and respectfully informed the veteran so, as I think that all records for a State 

 should be backed up by specific localities in that State. (In the present in- 

 complete state of our knowledge of Northern Territory plants, I would of 

 course raise no objection to the fifteen mile boundary ; the circumstances are 

 different). 



It may be that some of the " N.A " records for Acacias are marked in the 

 " Second Census" on the same principle. I do not say they are, for although I 

 cannot find the records I will continue to search for them, and also for the pjants 

 within the Territory itself. It is, however, proper to point out that records 

 simply based on the " N.A." of the " Second Census" have not the same value 

 in my eyes as those concerning which I have been able to obtain specific 

 locahties. I would gratefully welcome any information on the subject, and 

 meantime no harm can result in temporarily excluding some names, " pro- 

 babilities" as most of them appear to be. 



K.- — See also Journal of Mr. W. H. Tietkens' Central Australian Expedition 

 (1889). This was ordered by the South Austrahan Legislative Assembly to be 

 printed on the 30th October (1890). It was reprinted in octavo form by the 

 South Austrahan Government Printer in 1891. 



It contains a hst of plants compiled by Mueller and Tate. The paper is a 

 copy of one published in Journ. Roy. Soc, S. A., xiii., 94 (1890). It is pre- 

 faced by a useful catalogue of locahties. 



The hst of species of Acacia quoted is : — 



A. Bynoeana, Benth. Western end of Lake Amadeus. 



^1. S'pondylofhylla, F. v. M. Mt. Sender. 



A. strongylophylla, F. v. M. Mt. Sonder ; Western end of Lake Amadeus ; 

 Mt. Olga. 



A. pyrifolia, DC. Gill's Creek ; Laura Vale ; Sandhills east of Lake 

 Macdonald. 



A. notabilis, F. v. M. Mt. Sonder ; Gill's Creek. 



A. salicina, Lindl. Mount Sonder ; West end of Lake Amadeus ; Table- 

 land West of Bringa. 



A. dictyophleba, F. v. M. Sandhills North of Mount Harris. 



A. patens, F. v. M. Mt. Sonder, a shrub from 5 to 8 feet. 



A. acradenia, F. v. M. Mt. Harris. = A. umbellata, A. Cunn. 



A. doratoxylon, A. Cunn. 12 miles south-east of Gill's Creek ; Mt. 

 Olga ; Tableland West of Eringa. 



A. aneura, F. v. M. West of Lake Amadeus ; tableland West of Eringa. 

 A. cyperophylla, F. v. M. Warman Rocks 

 A. Farnesiana, Willd. Mt. Sonder. 



69. A. notabilis. (This is in Mueller's " Second Census," but this is ap- 

 parently the first record.) 



70. A. doratoxylon. (Admitted in the " Second Census" perhaps on the 

 doubtful evidence of Mueller's Journ. Linn. Soc, iii., paper. The reputed 

 doratoxylon from the Northern Territory may perhaps be revised.) 



71. A. cyperophylla, F. v. M. 

 Are not in previous lists.
