The following note bears on the apparently dubious Towrang locality : — 



' Some years ago I received from Mr. Baker specimens (in bud) from Towrang, which he attributed 

 to this species, and which I attributed to E. Stuartiana F.v.M. var. parviflora, and still hold that view." 

 (Figured at figs. 3 and 4, Plate 102, Part XXIV, J.H.M.) 



Recently, having received certain specimens from Mr. R. H. Cambage, which had been collected 

 by Mr. E. C. Andrews at Wyndham, on the Pambula-Bombala road, I went into the matter again, and 

 find that they are identical with Mr. Baker's Colombo specimens, and I agree with him as to the validity 

 of his species so far as the Colombo specimens are concerned. Further search at Towrang reveals no 

 E. angoplwroides, but confirms the previous determination of E. Stuartiana. 



' The error is to be regretted, and I would point out the inconvenience of giving more than one 

 locality for a type. 



' The combination of the two species is perpetuated in my notes of E. Stuartiana F.v.M. at page 68, 

 Part XXIV of my ' Critical Revision of the genus Eucalyptus,' now in the press, but the type was distributed 

 before I could point out the confusion." (Maiden in Journ. Roy. Soc. N.S.W., xlix, 322, 1915.) 



Mr. E. C. Andrews, now Government Geologist of New South Wales, favoured 

 me with the following note on the abovementioned Wyndham locality, as follows : — 



' Mr. Cambage has said you would like to know the area from which I collected the Eucalyptus 

 when visiting the Whipstick mines. Enclosed please find sketch of locality at 16 miles to inch (not 

 reproduced). The plants grow thickly alongside main road between Wyndham and Whipstick, the two 

 being 4 miles apart. E. Sieberiana flourishes on the siliceous granites and the Devonian sediments at 

 Whipstick, one tree being 100 feet to the first limb and about 6 to 8 feet in diameter. The Eucalyptus 

 (angophoroides) with the peculiar seedlings, leaves, and sapling foliage grows especially on the Devonian 

 sediments and basic granite. Its mates are E. goniocalyx ; E. Bosistoana, &c. E. coriacea is there also at 

 Candelo and a few miles west of Wyndham." (Letter of 22nd July, 1915.) 



Mr. W. Baeuerlen also collected it at Nangutta, near Eden. 



I have also received this plant under the name of " Cabbage Box," from Mr. 

 William Dunn, from Yourie, about 30 miles westerly from Bermagui, on the Tuross 

 waters. The locality is useful, as we do not at present know the range of this species. 

 This is in the county of Dampier. 



" Mr. Baker's tree appears to be only found in and around Yourie as far as I can 

 learn. I called on Mr. Gough, an old resident of that locality, and he states he does 

 not know of any other locality that the tree may be found. The specimen of the bud, 

 &c, were obtained from two separate trees, one of which is fully 8-9 feet in circum- 

 ference and with a clean barrel of 38-48 feet." (Forest Guard William Dunn of 

 Bermagui). Mr. Dunn is mistaken about his locality being unique, but the statement 

 is evidence that the tree is not well known yet, and probably not very abundant. What 

 its focus or optimum locality is, we do not yet know.
