Southern Localities. — Quiedong, near Bombala (W. Baeiierleii) ; Bombala 

 to Delegate (J.H.M.); Tantawanglo Mountain, Cathcart, Montgomery's 

 Mill (H. Deane) ; Gungahleen (Goldsbrou^h, Mort, & Co.), with thick, short 

 leaves and strongly marked venation ; Tumut (W, W. Froggatt) ; Gundagai 

 (H. Deane) ; Barber's Creek (H. J. Eumsey) ; Bowral to Wombeyan Caves, 

 1 mile east ( J.H.M. and E. H. Cambage) ; Cootamundra to Grenfell 

 (District Forester Arthur Osborne) ; Weddin, near Young (J.H.M.) ; Bore- 

 nore, near Forbes (H. Deane), wjith fruits similar to those from 

 Cootamundra, &c. 



^^''es^ern Localities. — Hassan's Walls, Bowenfels (J.H.M.) ; Capertee and 

 Sunny Corner, with remarkably angular rim to fruits (J.H.M. and J. L. 

 Boorman) ; Eylstone (E, T. Baker); Mudgee (W. Woolls). Fruits rather 

 smaller than the type. 



A coarse grandiflora form, with the fruits f-inch in diameter, the rim 

 very prominent and urceolate in shape, was collected by E. T. Baker at 

 Mount Vincent, also at Eylstone. 



Perth, found only in the ranges around Apsley; small stunted trees used 

 for props in the mines adjacent (J. L. Boorman). 



" Eed Stringybark," buds swollen like those of E. stellulata, Canoblas, 

 Orange ; ditto (A. W. Howitt) ; Ophir, Orange (E. H. Cambage) ; Welling- 

 ton (A. Murphy). 



Near top of Mount Bulaway, Warrumbungle Eanges, at 3,000 feet (W. 

 Forsyth). The angularity of the rim in these fruits is nearly obliterated, 

 and the pedicels are very short. The opercula are pointed, but far less 

 sharp than those of normal macrorrhyncha usually are. That this tree is 

 a strong connecting link between E. capitellata and E. macrorrhyncha is 

 unquestionable. A form with normal fruits is also found in. the Warrum-, 

 bungle Eanges (W. Forsyth) . 



Minore, near Dubbo, perhaps the most westerly locality in this herbarium 

 (J. L. Boorman.) Buds less angular than the tyi)e. 



The Meadows, Dubbo district; used for fencing purposes and charcoal 

 (Assistant Forester A. E. Samuels). The buds remarkably like those of 

 E. rostrata, so much so, that a word of caution is necessary. This is not 

 an unusual thing in western forms, but the anthers and the venation of the 

 leaves are very different. 



Northern Localities. — ^But it is as we travel north, farthest away from- the' 

 home of the type, that the aberrant forms become most plentiful. The 

 doming of the rim is usually a very good guide in this species, but some- 

 times this character is not well defined, and the rim must then be interpreted 

 with caution. E. macrorrhyncha runs into E. Muellerlana, the " Yellow 

 Stringybark " or " Blackbutt," without any doubt. 



In New England the tendency of the leaves is to become smaller and more 

 coriaceous, and the buds to become less to more angular* than the type, the 

 operculum shorter, and the fruit more pear-shaped. The rim is not sharp, 

 and the domed portion is narrow. At the same time there are considerable 



•In the more exposed situations the. mutual compression causes the buds to 

 be bluntly angular and compressed, just like E. capitellata ot the coast.
