Tasmania. 

 I have the following note in Joum. Roy. Soc. Tas. (1914), p. 29 : — " In Part II, 

 p. 71, of my ' Critical Revision,' after drawing attention to the confusion which has 

 grown around the erroneous use of E. hcemastoma for a Tasmanian tree, I say that the 

 name should be dropped. In Part X, p. 321, of the same work, I expressly exclude 

 E. hcemastoma from Tasmania, and do the same at Part XXXVII of my ' Forest 

 Flora.' " 



The following two specimens are not very satisfactory. They were not 

 collected from Tasmania itself, but from Bass's Straits. In Part VI, p. 162, I referred 

 them to E. amygdalina var. nitida (which is not perfectly understood), and I hope the 

 matter will be further inquired into. 



1. Deal Island (the largest island of Kent Group), Bass's Straits. (Expedition 

 of the Field Naturalists' Club of Victoria, 1890). Labelled E. hcemastoma by Mueller. 



2. " Fairly rough bark at base, branches smooth." Flinders' Island, Bass's 

 Straits (Dr. J. B. Cleland). 



New South Wales. 



Southern Localities. — Jervis Bay, fruits nearly as large as those of the type 

 (J.H.M.); Badgery's Crossing, Shoalhaven River, to Nowra, not perfectly typical

 flats and also on ridges (J.H.M.); Cataract Dam (E. Cheel). 



Western Localities. — Blackheath, overlooking the Dam (J.H.M.); a smooth 

 White Gum, showing patches on the otherwise clean stem of loose bark, Mount Victoria 

 between the houses Manor House and Rossmoyne, and other parts ( J.H.M.) ; quite 

 smooth bark, fruits in umbels, showing affinity to var. capitata Maiden. Fairy Bower, 

 Mount Victoria (J.H.M.). 



Sydney District. — Kurnell, Botany Bay. Here Captain Cook landed in the 

 " Endeavour," April 28 — May 6, 1770, and Banks and Solander made botanical 

 collections; Loftus and National Park (J. H. Camfield). 



The following were collected by George Caley in the Sydney district (1800- 

 1810), and were presented by the British Museum through Dr. A. B. Rendle, F.R.S. 

 Nos. 7; 52 (possibly micrantha, but no fruits); 5, " On the South Head Road" (in 

 Caley's handwriting) ; 53.

 Camfield); Spit Road, Manly (J. L. Boorman and J.H.M.) ; White Gum. Rather 

 small trees, with a smooth mottled bark, or occasionally the trunk with patches of rough
