2. In the Presidential Address before the Royal Society of New South Wales 

 (Journ. Ray. Soc, N.S.W ., XXXI, p. 64, &c, 1897) I drew attention to the importance 

 of a botanical survey of New South Wales, with the view of advancing our knowledge 

 of Australian trees and cognate matters. 



Coghlan. T. A. (1897-1898).— " Wealth and Progress of New South Wales, 

 1897-1898." has a useful coloured ' ; Diagram Map," of which the legend is : — 



1. Northern Coast. 



2. Northern Tableland. 



3. North-western Slope. 



■4. Hunter and Hawkesbury Valleys. 



5. County of Cumberland. 



6. Central Tableland.

9. Southern Tableland. 



10. South-western Slope. 



11. Western Plains.

Maiden, J. H. — In the Agric. Gaz., N.S.W. , for July, 1901, p. 811, is an account 

 of a lecture on the " Forests of New South Wales," delivered before our Royal Society 

 on 22nd May. Mr. R. D. Hay (now Chief Commissioner of Forests) kindly prepared 

 for me a coloured " OutUne Map of New South Wales, showing the location of the 

 principal timbers." This is the first purely New South Wales forest map published, 

 so far as I know, and it includes timbers other than Eucalypts. The scope of it may be 

 understood when it is stated that the various colours show (Eucalypts) :— 



1. Coastal hardwoods (south and north). These are celebrated localities for the Sydney trade. 



2. Grey and Red Ironbark (Richmond and Clarence Rivers). 



3. Gums, Stringybarks and Miscellaneous hardwoods. 



4. Ironbark with some Box. 



5. Pine and Ironbark. 



6. Cypres3 Pine and Box. 



7. Murray Red Gum.
