Barber's Creek, now Tallong (H. J. Rumsey, J.H.M.). 



Flowering almost in the juvenile leaf stage. Sutton Forest (J.H.M.). Medium 

 sized trees of 30-40 feet, bark scaly and ribbony on trie stems. Bowral (S. J. Russell). 



Quadrangular, almost winged branchlets. In a boggy depression, a few hundred 

 yards from Pomare on the road to Narellan, at Cobbitty (J.H.M.). Appin (J.H.M.). 

 Bankstown and Cabramatta (J. L. Boorman). 



Flowering almost in the juvenile leaf stage. Cabramatta (W. Forsyth). The 

 small-fruited Swamp Gum is very abundant in the Appin and Bankstown districts. 

 The specimens precisely match those from Tenterfield. The suckers have quadrangular 

 stems and the buds are of small diameter. 



' Bastard Box or Grey Gum," probably in Parramatta district (W. Woolls). 



Following are specimens collected by George Caley, received from the British 

 Museum (Dr. A. B. Rendle ; Nos. 11 and 55 probably came from the Parramatta district). 



No. 11 (Locality?). 



No. 55. " Calgargroo," " A little beyond the South Brush, October, 1807. 

 These are doubtfully ' Cumbora.' " 



Mixed with 25. " Picked up near Arayling in the road. December, 1807." 

 " Cambora (?)" 



No. 25. ' I expect this to be the Cambora (1 Cumbora) picked up in the Apple 

 Tree Swamp at Vaccary Forest, December, 1807." Vaccary Forest is the " Cow- 

 pasture," near the modern Camden. See my " Sir Joseph Banks : the Father of 

 Australia," p. 130, for an abstract of Caley's journal. Arayling is probably on the way 

 to the Vaccary Forest. 



[The references to the names " Calgargroo " and " Cumbora " will be understood 

 on reference to my paper on the aboriginal names collected by Caley in the opening 

 years of the 19th Century, for various kinds of Eucalyptus trees in the Counties of 

 Cumberland and Camden, in Agric. Gazette, N.S.W . for 1903, p. 988. 



He was a most remarkable man, and it was a grievous loss to British science 

 that his notes, his herbarium specimens, and the collection of timbers (Trans. Linn. 

 Soc. xvii, 597, 1832) he made were not connected up, numbered, and carefully preserved. 

 Paper was scarce and few localities had names in his time, but the labels in his writing 

 which have come to light show that he spotted the points of the various species and 

 varieties of Eucalypts far better than any observer who collected before and for long 

 after him. 



His " Calgargroo " (" Calgargro," he did not always spell uniformly) I originally 

 referred to E. squamosa Deane and Maiden, (I now think it is E. Parramattensis C. 

 Hall, which has been confused with E. squamosa), but it will be seen that Caley himself 

 doubted whether No. 55 was " Cumbora." 



His " Cambora " (" Cumbora ") is undoubtedly aboriginal for E. amplifolia.]
