In my anxiety to avoid duplication of drawings, particularly where there is a 

 plate in the " Eucalyptographia," which is a work that should be read with mine, the 

 drawing's selected in the present work may sometimes give rise to some misunderstanding 

 unless the above fact be borne in mind. The Critical Revision drawings are sometimes 

 intended to bring out certain points. Turning to Part XIII, Plate 57, figs. 9e and 16, 

 for example, see legend at p. 131, are intended to show that the fruits may be quite small 

 or may have exserted valves. It does not mean that the form depicted is characteristic 

 of this particular tree, for some of the fruits on this tree may be quite normal; it simply 

 warns readers of an ascertained aberration in E. panicidata. 



Further, the young foliage may become very coarse (large and thick), especially 

 in exposed situations such as Ulladulla and Kincumber. Indeed the same thing is 

 noticed at Dungog, and is by no means rare. In a comparatively dense forest the 

 leaves may be thinner and smaller, with pale undersides. The figures now published 

 of E. panicidata at Plates 196 and 197 should, taken in conjunction with Plate 57, be 

 sufficiently comprehensive, 



RANGE. 



It is confined to coastal New South Wales and Queensland so far as we know 

 at present. See Part XIII, p. 105. There is (1921) no satisfactory evidence that it 

 occurs in Victoria. 



The individual localities quoted at pp. 106, 107, wili not be repeated. I have 

 carefully gone over the specimens with the types of E. Fergasoni and E. Nanglei before 

 me, and find that attempts to sort them out into three species are beyond my capacity. 

 It is quite true that I am able to pick out some specimens in which the fruits match 

 those particular fruits in the specimens which Mr. Baker has selected for his types, but 

 they are associated with other characters which show that the forms cannot be 

 segregated from E. panicidata. 



E. paniculata is often found flowering in a dwarf state along the coast, particularly 

 on north heads or headlets, e.g., Ulladulla, Terrigal, First Point, Kincumber. 



The list of localities which follows is to be added to those given in Part XIII, 

 p. 106. 



I may say that, in common with some other species which occur along the 

 coast, exposed to the strong sea air, and also more inland, E. panicidata has larger 

 coastal fruits. Incidentally it may be stated that the fruits of a species, wherever 

 grown, may be larger if the product of a young vigorous tree, and smaller if near the 

 top of a large tree.
