" Fringes all the sides of rivers ; open land. Timber red, bark deciduous to the 

 root. Tree 30-40 feet high." Wando Vale (J. G. Robertson, 17th December, 1843). 



Mr. J. Blackburne sent me specimens of buds greatly enlarged with galls produced 

 by a dipteron belonging to the Family Agromyzideae. His specimens came from Mary- 

 borough and St. Arnaud. He adds " This affection seems universal all over Victoria 

 this year." (1909). I have already noted them in E. tereticornis, E. dealbata, and 

 E. Blakelyi. 



Heathcote (W. S. Brownscombe). Dunkeld (H. B. Williamson). Stawell (J. 

 Staer). Dimboola (St. Eloy D' Alton). Wangaratta (correspondent of Mueller). 



Sale, Gippsland (Junction of Thompson and Latrobe Rivers) (H. Hopkins, 6b, 



6d). Fruits largish, hemispherical, and with a sharp rim. Also small, nearly sessile 



fruits. With a little care, Mr. Hopkins was able to point out several details of variation 



in the Sale district. 



New South Wales. 



'Following are a few notes in regard to the occurrence of the species. It is very 

 common over the western and south-western portions of the State, where the rainfall 

 is light. I have not repeated the name " Red Gum," under which it is usually sent. 



The Murray River (chiefly right bank) generally. Gulpha Island, near Mathoura 

 (R. D. Hay). Barham (Assistant Forester Chanter). Moama (Forest Guard Watson). 



"No. 1. Edible Red Gum." "No. 2. Non-edible Red Gum." Sheep are 

 reputed to eat the former and not the latter, but I can see no differences between them. 

 I will again refer to this in my " Forest Flora of New South Wales." 



Bongbilla. Moulamein (T. Grieve). 



In Box-forest, co. Denison, also co. Hume, with longish opercula showing some 

 affinity to E. dealbata A. Cunn. (Forest Ranger S. Payten). 



Hovell's tree at Albury, showing the spot where Hume's party sighted the Murray 

 River. It is the identical gum-tree on which Captain Hovell, leader of the party, cut 

 his name on 17th November, 1824. The monument erected to the memory of the party 

 is close by. (Photo presented by Mr. J. E. R. Fellowes). The buds are conical, and 

 show some transit between the normal form and var. acuminata. 



" Smooth whitish bark, tree of 50-100 feet. Trunk rougher than usual in rostrata, 

 bark falling in strips on upper limbs," buds conoid, glaucous. Some affinity to E. 

 dealbata. Albury (Rev. J. W. Dwyer, No. 109). 



" River Gum." Wollongawah, Tumut (W. S. W. de Beuzeville). Tall massive 

 trees of 50 feet growing along the banks of the Gilmore Creek, and on the flats, right up 

 towards Batlow and Tumut (J. L. Boorman). 



Carabost, Tumberumba. A form with exceptionally long pedicels, perhaps 

 showing affinity to E. dealbata. Seen only in fruit. (R. H. Cambage, No. 1,015). 

 Burrinjuck (J. L. Boorman.)
