 See above, p. 81, and also Part VII, page 197 of tlie present work. 



RANGE. 



So far as we know at present, it is confined to New South Wales, but we do not 

 know its limits yet. In the south, it extends to the Goulburn district, and is found as 

 far west as the Jenolan Caves. It is not recorded as far north as the Sydney district. I 

 have received specimens labelled " timber exceedingly faulty, in poor stony country 

 and locally rare, Wyndhani, via Eden (J. L. Boorman), but as the specimens are not 

 perfectly satisfactory; I say no more concerning them. 



It prefers swampy or low-lying land, or to follow the course of a stream. 



Specific localities are : — ■ 



Laggan and Crookwell Creeks (J. J. Hook, quoted by R. T. Baker in Proc. Linn. 

 Soc. N.S.W. xxxi, 715, 1906), which seems the proved southerly record so far. It is a 

 few miles north of G-oulburn. Towrang (J. L. Boorman). 



Paddy's River, near Wingello. "Ample deep green foliage, bark corky, not 

 ribbony, even to the edges of the branches " (J. L. Boorman); Fitzroy Falls, near Moss 

 Yale (W. Forsyth); Sutton Forest (J.H.M.); Berrima (J.H.M.); Burradoo, "Bark 

 furrowed and stringy. Habit of Weeping Willow. Spreading tree of 60-70 feet and 

 2-3 feet diameter " (A. Murphy) ; Bowral to Bullio (R. H. Cambage and J.H.M.) ; 

 Mittagong. " Locally known as Messmate and Mountain Ash " (W. Greenwood). 



Jenolan Caves (W. F. Blakely) ; this is the most westerly locality known to me. 



In Papers and Proc. Roy. Soc. Tas., 1902, p. 83, I recorded E. Macarthuri for 

 Tasmania, but formally corrected the mistake in the same publication for 1914, p. 30. 



It is a species frequenting medium cold localities, and its usual range in the south- 

 eastern quarter of New South Wales is from 2,000-3,500 feet.
