Fruits with very sharp rim ; little doming, or a concavity rather than a 

 convexity, Cootamundra to Grenfell (Dist. Forester Arthur Oshorne) ; Weddin, 

 near Young, normal (J.H.M.) 



Borenore, near Forbes (H. Deane) with fruits similar to those from Coota- 

 mundra, &c. and which resemble those of var. (?) brachycorys. 



Western 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). 

 These specimens, as far as leaves and fruits are concerned, are close to var. (?) 

 brachycorys, but the buds are those of the New England form. 



Rylstone (B. T. Baker) ; Mudgee (W. Woolls). Fruits rather smaller than 

 the type. 



A coarse grandiflora form with the fruits § inch in diameter, the rim very 

 prominent and urceolate in shape, was collected by B. T. Baker at Mt. Vincent, also 

 at Bylstone. (Fig. 19, pi. 39.) 



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

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



" Bed Stringy bark," buds swollen like those of E. stellulata, Canoblas, 

 Orange ; ditto (A. TV. Howitt), with rim of fruit as sharp as seen in var. (?) 

 brachycorys, Ophir, Orange (R. H. Cambage) ; Wellington (A. Murphy). 



Near top of Mt. Bulaway, Warrumbungle Banges, 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 

 macrorrhynchi usually are. That this tree is a strong connecting link between 

 E. capitellata and E. imcrorrhyncha is unquestionable. A form with normal fruits 

 is also found in the Warrumbungle Banges (W. Forsyth). 



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

 (J. L. Boorman). Bnds less angular than the type. 



Harvey Range, near Dnbbo (J. L. Boorman). Small crooked trees of 15-20 

 feet. Leaves very thick and shiny, and with veins well marked. In some trees the 

 fruits hemispherical and much resembling those of var. (?) brachycorys. In others, 

 the fruits hardly to be distinguished from those of E. tereticornis, Sm. 



The Meadows, Dubbo district ; used for fencing-posts and charcoal (Assistant 

 Forester A. R. 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 Local/lies. — 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 sometimes this character is 

 not well defined, and the rim must then ho interpreted with caution.
