of Queensland, then westerly in the greater part of the Northern Territory and into 

 North-west Australia. It skoirld be looked for in extra-tropical Western Australia. 

 Like other Bloodwoods, it is generally found in poor sandstone country. 



New South Wales. 

 The species has not been collected, so far as I know, south of the Gwydir River 

 and the Moree-Inverell Railway line, in northern New South Wales. I do not know 

 the boundary line, or the amount of overlapping, between the territory of this species 

 and E. pyrophora, in north-western New South Wales. 



Buds and flowers, Warialda (Henry Deane, E. J. Hadley, W. A- W. de Beuzeville). 

 Bloodwood, red wocd, Wa-ialda, 4-6 miles on the Tnverell-road (J.H.M. and J. L. 

 Boorman). Elongated fruits. 



' Bloodwood up to 3 ft. in. in diameter and 90 feet high. On sand ridges 

 between 40 and 50 miles north-west of Collarenebri (Sid. W. Jackson). 



Queensland. 



In this State I record it from the Roma district, on the Western Line, thence 

 in coastal and central districts m far north as the Cape York Peninsula and the Gulf 

 of Carpentaria. We want more records from Western Queensland localities, and we 

 want some from the vicinity of the New South Wales-Queensland border. 



The most southern specimens are on the Western Railway line, as follows : — 



Roma (E. W. Bick). Bather large, scaly corky, high-shouldered fruits. Roma, 

 with scurfy buds of a reddish tint, like Mornington Island specimens (Joseph Mayficld). 



[t is not rare in the Eiilsvold district (west of the Maryborough -G ay ndah line), 

 where it has been collected by Dr. T. L. Bancroft, e.g. , from Dwyer's road, and the road 

 to Spring Gully. Dr. Bancroft, in addition to botanical specimens, has also sent 

 excellent photographs of the trees. 



We now come to the Central Railway line and thereabouts. 



Mt. Morgan (C. F. Henrickson). (Specimens mixed with E. dichromopUoia). 

 Fruits only, winged seeds. Rockhampton (P. A. O'Shanesy). Labelled E. terminalis 

 by Mueller. (Similar to A. Murphy, No. 12, north of Rockhampton, see below.) " A 

 good-sized tree, of crooked habit, bark dark', persistent throughout. This is known 

 amongst bushmen as ' Bloodwood Gum." Common, Rockhampton (P. A. O'Shanesy, 

 No. 67). (Labelled E. terminalis by Mueller.) " Flowers white, in bunches, beautiful 

 in bud. No seed. Bark thick, rough at base of tree, smooth towards the top. Colour 

 very dark. Growing near the Vine."' (I do not understand the allusion. — J.H.M.) 

 Rockhampton (J. Dallachy, No. 399). (Labelled E. terminalis by both Mueller and 

 Bentham.) In flower only, buds reddish. Rockhampton (J.H.M.). Yeppoon (J. L. 

 Boorman). Rather large, high-shouldered fruits. Precisely the same as those from 

 Roma, an interior locality. 'Bloodwood/' dark red timber. North of Rockhampton 

 (A. Murphy, No. 12). Longish fruits, high-shouldered to scarcely urceolate. Sucker 

 leaves pedunculate, glabrous, not in earliest stage. Same as Roma.
