Queensland. 

 It is known in the Eidsvold district, then, going north, from Rockhampton 

 and in the dry country more th.Tn 200 miles to the west, to west of Cairns 

 and the Gulf Country, and thus well on the road to the type locality in the Northern 

 Territory. 



It is not rare in the Eidsvold district, e.g., Spring Gully and the vicinity of the 

 Old Battery (Dr. T. L. Bancroft). 



The following are in the Rockhampton district and west of it. 



(a) Rockhampton (P. O'Shanesy, No. 60, series 4th). Twigs with fruits. 

 Labelled E. terminalis by Mueller. Has the thin-shelled, purplish spotted fruit 

 characteristic of E. dicJtromophloia (Roper River). 



(b) Mount Morgan, with fruits as large as I have seen in the species (C. F. 

 Henrickson). See fig. 12, Plate 165. 



(c) Capella, 198 miles west of Rockhampton (M. Nagle). Fruits near type. 



(d) Red-barked Bloodwood. On mixed sand and shale soil. Bogantungan, 



220 miles west of Rockhampton (R. H. Cambage, No. 1100, with a photograph of the 



bark). 



E. terminalis F.v.M. Very like the Bloodwood in habit but it is never so fine a tree. The bark i'; 

 more scaly and of a pale red colour, and the trees cluster together more. It is, as the bushmen call it, more 

 " patchy." Sometimes you may journey for a day or so without seeing it, and then you may have it in 

 sight all round for many miles. It has a very wide range ; I think I first noticed it on the edges of Brigalow 

 scrubs near the Comet River, north of that I think I have seen it in places all through Eastern Australia. 

 The natives about the Dawson call it " A-rang-mill." The wood would be of some value were it not always 

 so small. (Tenison Woods, Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., vii, 333.) 



R. H. Cambage thinks that it is E. dicJtromophloia that is referred to.
