(Stirling Range), and in the vicinity of Cape Riche." He speaks on several 

 occasions of collecting on " Congineerup, near the east end of the mountain," and 

 with other context. 



I would suggest that " Kojoneerup " and " Congineerup " refer to the 

 same place. Congineerup is evidently not part of the Stirling Range, although it 

 may he in the same district. 



The localities given by Bentham are Lucky Bay, _K. Brown (this is a few 

 miles south-east of Esperance. — J.H.M.), Sullinup (I would suggest that this is a 

 copy of bad handwriting for " Stirling." — J.H.M.) Ranges and Russell Range (a 

 little north-west of Israelite Bay. — J.H.M), Maxwell, Baxter, Drummond, 3rd Coll. 

 No. 69, 4th Coll. Xo. 97. 



Mueller (Eucalyptographia) adds the localities, Cape Arid, also " Mount 

 Lindsay" (north of Wilson's Inlet. — J.H.M.), "extending to the most south-eastern 

 sources of Swan River (Muir), mostly in rich soil along brooks, reaching the 

 summits of mountains up to 3,000 feet elevation." 



I have seen the following specimens : — 



No. 4,792. R. Brown. South Coast, 1802-5. Probably Lucky Bay. I 

 have also seen a specimen, labelled in Brown's handwriting, " Bay 1," which we 

 know to be Lucky Bay. 



No. 69. Drummond in Herb. Cant, in bud only. 



"Bell Gum," Kalgan, Western Australia (Oldfield). In Herb. Barbey- 

 Boissier. This locality is near the Stirling Range, and the name " Bell Gum " was 

 given partly in allusion to the shape of the fruit, but chiefly because of its 

 pendulous habit. 



Red Gum Pass, Stirling Range ( Dr. A. Morrison). 



" Blue Gum," Wilson's Inlet, Western Australia (Oldfield), in Herb. Cant. 



Then we have : — 



" In dist. Eyre a sinu Esperance Bay septentrionem versus prsecipue alluvia 

 argillaceo-arenosa subnitrosa occupat (D. 5,335)" (Diels and Pritzel, Engler, Jahrb., 

 xxxv (1905), p. 443). So that the known localities extend from the Russell 

 Range in the east to Mount Lindsay in the west, thence to Cape Arid, Lucky Bay, 

 Esperance Bay to the Stirling Range, thence going north to the sources of the 

 Avon, say a few miles east of Pingelly. 



It will thus be seen that many gaps require to be filled as regards the range 

 of this interesting species.
