determination. Mr. Boorman's specimens are in fruit only, and 

 the leaves are so considerably smaller and of thinner texture than 

 the North Australian specimens in the Sydney Herbarium that 

 we doubted whether the Acacia Creek specimens did not rather 

 belong to an undescribed species. The only localities Mr, Bailey 

 gives in his 'Queensland Flora' are "Cape York" and "Thursday 

 Island "; but a plant growing in New South Wales, on the 

 Queensland border, is likely to be found also in dense brush 

 extending up to Brisbane, and has been probably overlooked by 

 Queensland collectors. 



TILIACEiE. 

 El^eocarpus Baeuerlenii Maiden & Baker. 



We published in these Proceedings for 1898 (xxiii., 772) a 

 note on the synonymy of E. Bduerlenii and pointed out that E. 

 longifolius C. Moore, had priority. 



We find now, in the 'Index Kewensis' (a work not published in 

 1898), that there is an E .longifolius Blume, from Java, and another 

 from Burma similarly named by Wallace. Being earlier than 

 Moore's name, Moore's name must fall, and E. Bduerlenii 

 Maiden & Baker stands.
