Following is a representative collection of herbarium specimens of this species, 

 most carefully prepared by Mr. Harry Hopkins : — 



Cunningkanie (Lakes Entrance), Raymond Island, Bairnsdale, Heart Wharf, 

 Lower Latrobe River ; Swan Reach, Tambo River ; Stratford, Briagolong. " Some 

 years ago Briagolong furnished some of the best Red Gum timber in this country, but 

 it is all cut out, or destroyed by ringing and clearing now." Lindenow Railway Station, 

 Glengarry, Invemiechie School near Munro. 



New South Wales. 



Southern Localities. — It is found in the coastal districts of New South Wales, 

 more or less plentifully, from south to north. 



Bemboka (A. W. Howitt) ; Bega district (J. V. de Coque) ; Moruya (J. V. de 

 Cocme, W. Baeuerlen). " Rather narrow-leaved form/' Harbour-road, Milton (R. H. 

 Cambage, No. 4117); Shoalhaven River, near McCallum's Farm; also Diggers' Creek, 

 with large fruits and broad rim (W. Forsyth and A. A. Hamilton). 



" Blue Gum of Camden," exhibited by the late Sir William Macartbur with 



timber specimens under the numbers 19, 20, 21, at the Paris Exhibition of 1855. He 



gave the aboriginal names as " Tjellat " and " Barroulgoura " (Illawarra), and 



' Yarrah." Counties of Cumberland and Camden, which are of archaeological interest, 



as the aborigines of those districts are now extinct. 



Denham Court (T. V. Alkin) with very oval buds. 



Goulburn, not normal, aff. E. amplifolia (Rev. J. W. Dwyer, 512). 



Sydney District. — Common in the Outer Domain, and formerly in the Botanic 

 Gardens and Inner Domain, where few trees now exist. It was formerly abundant on 

 the site of the city of Sydney, and in the suburbs generally. 



Como (J. H. Camfield) ; Parramatta Park (H. Deane). 



Caley collected it often in the Sydney and Parramatta district, particularly the 

 latter, where his residence was. 



(a) "Picked up beyond Aiken's Creek, 16th Jan., 1807. Perhaps a sort of 

 ' Yerre.' It can be no other than ' Torumba.' " 



(b) " Bastard Blue Gum. The same as the specimen of wood. 8th June, 1804." 

 Caley also collected a large number of specimens of Eucalyptus woods (See my " Sir 

 Joseph Banks: the Father of Australia," p. 139), but they were not permanently 

 preserved. Had the Eucalyptus collections and notes of Robert Brown and Caley been 

 published during their lifetimes our knowledge of the genus woidd have been advanced 

 more than half a century. 



Western localities. — Sydney to the foot of the Blue Mountains. 



Lower Castlereagh (Richmond to Penrith) (R. Farlow) ; Kanimbla Valley, via 

 Mt. Victoria. Just past bridge over creek at foot of hill leading to Vickery's Station; 

 also in the yard of the homestead (J.H-M.) ; Rylstone (R. T. Baker) ; Capertee (J. L, 

 Boorman, J.H.M.),
