New South Wales. 



Southern Localities. — Twofold Bay ( J.H.M.) ; Wyndham and Bemboka. 

 (A. W. Howitt) ; Conjola, near Milton, with very long opercula (W. Heron) ; 

 south of Nowra, from Jervis Bay (J.H.M.) ; Shoalhaven Eiver, also Diggers' 

 Creek (W. Forsyth and A. A. Hamilton), with filiform pedicels; Kangaloott 

 (J. L. Bruce) ; Barber's Creek (H, J. Eumsey) ; Wingello (J. L. Boorman)^ 

 medium trees, detected by snort leaves and absence of glaucous tint. " Red 

 Stringybark," in contradistinction to "White Stringybark" (E. capitel- 

 lata), a reversal of this nomenclature being more common in other parts of 

 New South Wales. A second collector (A. Murphy) confirms Mr.. 

 Boorman's report of the local nomenclature. 



The Peaks, Burragorang (R. H. Cambage) ; Kangaroo Valley and Bowral 

 to BuUio (J.H.M. and R. H. Cambage). 



Hill Top, with specially marked white-dotted fruits and elongated 

 opercula (J.H.M.). 



Sydney district, common on the Wianamatta Shale, but also found on 

 sandstone. Following are some Sydney district localities : — Homebush 

 (J.H.M.) ; Concord Park (R. H. Cambage) ; Bankstown and Cabramatta.

 Perouse (W. W. Froggatt) ; Peat's-road (H. Deane) ; Newport (R. H., 

 Cambage) . 



Western Localities. — To the foot of the Blue Mountains from Sydney, it. 

 is rather common. It is the commonest Stringybark on the Blue Moun- 

 tains, . occurring all over, the range, and at all heights. Compared with the' 

 other rather common Blue Mountain Stringybark (E. capitellata) , the- 

 timber is redder (!). The juvenile foliage is narrower, and not glaucous, 

 like that of E. capitellata. The fruits of E. eugenioides on the Blue 

 Mountains are not often exsert ; instances to the contrary are Springwood (H.. 

 Deane) ; Mount Wilson (Jesse Gregson), with inner bark very yellow. 



Jenolan Caves (W. F. Blakely). 



■ At Oapertee (J. L. Boorman) and Mudgee (District Forester C. Marriott)' 

 it is known as " White Stringybark." 



E. eugenioides does not appear to go further west than Jenolan Caves- 

 and Mudgee. 



Northern Localities. — Most of the northern specimens have the rims red 

 and prominent, and the valves slightly exsert. 



" Good - timber, cut for sleepers. Yellow inner bark, between the rough 

 and the inner bark; the fibrous portion very tough." Wyee (A. Murphy). 



" Stringybark, free splitting ; bark between sap and outside, yellow." St> 

 Alban's district, Hawkesbury River (A. Murphy).
