Inviting attention to County maps, I would name the following parishes as places where Eurabbie 

 is to be found, starting from near the head of the Murray River (Tndi) and proceeding northerly : — Geehi, 

 Youngal, Khancoban, Jagumba, Welumba, Cowra, Maragle, Burra, Beaumont, King, Buddong, and 

 Yellowin in County of Selwyn ; Bago, Selwyn and Batlow in County of Wynyard ; Talbingo, Bogong, 

 Baloo, Jibeen, Nimbo, Garnet and Cooleman in County of Buccleuch ; Napier, Weejasper, and on to the 

 Goodradigbee River in County of Cowley. 



It will not, of course, be understood that this timber is confined to these parishes ; but by following 

 them on the County maps an idea will be obtained of the belt of country in which this timber grows. 

 Along this belt it is scarce in places, perhaps more particularly through the Buccleuch parishes, and into 

 County Cowley. It is thickest in Parishes of Burra, Beaumont, King, and the edge of Selwyn, and some 

 of the best specimens I have seen were trees growing on the Burra Forest Reserve, a few miles east of 

 Tumbarumba. North of this again, through part of the Bago Forest Reserve, t'.e trees grow to a good 

 size. 



The following New South Wales localities are represented in the National 

 Herbarium, Sydney :— 



(In NeAT South Wales specimens the fruits are sometimes rather smaller than 

 the type, and less warted, hut not always so.) 



Southern Localities. — Snowy Mountains (J. V. do Coqae) ; between 

 Germanton and Tumbarumba (W. Forsyth) ; '•'Eurabbie," Burra, Tumbarumba 

 (J. S. Taylor) ; Cumberland Range, via Talbingo (A. W. Ilowitt) ; in deep gullies 

 facing south-east, north of Burrinjuck (B. II. Cambage, J. L. Boorman, Bev. 

 J. W. Dwyer). 



Western Localities. — Bruits rather smoother than the type, and smaller, 

 Jenolan Cares (John Duff, W. B. Blakely). 



On Nullo Mountain, about 25 miles east of Rylstone, it is growing in a fair proportion with 

 O! her timbers such as a large gum, locally called "Mountain Ash," Ribbon Gums, Manna Gums, &c. 

 (G. R. Brown, formerly Forest Ranger.) 



Eucalyptus globulus obtained on the Nullo Mountain, Parishes of Simpson and Nullo. The trees 

 measured girthed up to 13 feet at 4 feet from the ground, but length of barrel on the bigger trees will not 

 exceed more than 20 feet ; smaller girth, 9 feet or less, have fair length, 30 feet being quite common. 



The timber is scarce, although a fair number of seedlings are making an appearance. Some saplings 

 give promise of growing into very long trunks. 



The timber is not used in the locality where it is growing, being very hard to work, besides a 

 considerable quantity of easier worked timber is available. 



I am informed that this tree is a very quick grower, and, judging by the spread that seedlings are 

 making, that eventually most of this reserve will be taken up with Blue Gum (tjlvbu'us). (Mr. James B. 

 Yeo, Forest Guard, rep rting in 1912.) 



It grows in limited quantities in the gullies of a mountain, 13 miles from Mudgee, viz., upon 

 Settlement Leases 387 and 383 ; in the Parish of Derate, County of Phillip. I was informed that a 

 number of the gullies carried this timber, which I had not time to visit. (R. Sim, junr., Forester ) 



Northern Localities. — Bast Lindsay's Gap (County of Barry), 5 miles on 

 Wallabadah Boad from Nundle, there is a little E. globulus yar., and for some miles 

 further on. 



Mr. J. B. Campbell, L.S., formerly of Walcha, but who has now left the 

 district, writes to me concerning E. globulus :— 



I have no locality map nor notes by me, and must depend entirely upon memory in the following 

 brief description.
