frequent near Oaley's Repulse" (this is P. pint folia, U.Br.), 

 and that a "Sbyphelia (closely allied to S. reflexa, Rudge) 

 but having a much longer style and mucrone to apex of 

 leaf " is also found there. This is perhaps Leucopogon 

 collinus. 



The King's Tableland (in the vicinity of Went worth 

 Falls) is 14 miles from Springwood, 26 miles from Emu 

 Ford and this plain, so named by Macquarie, was " con- 

 sidered as the summit of the Western Mountains." It is 8|- 

 miles west of the " Bluff Bridge " which, Antill says, was 

 half a mile beyond Caley's Repulse, and consisted of an 

 extemporised bridge across a chasm. Cunningham collected 

 freely here in "brushes," "margins of peaty bogs," and 

 "margin of the Cascade," "Ravines," besides on the 

 " Kiog's Table-land " proper. 



Regent's Glen.— Cunningham collected on the " verge " 

 or " rocky verge " of this glen. What we know at the 

 present day as the Falls or Great Fall at Wentworth Falls 

 is "The Campbell Cataract" of Macquarie, in honour of 

 the maiden name of Mrs. Macquarie, and not of the Colonial 

 Secretary of the period. The name has gone out of use, 

 but it is used in Cunningham's Journal. The "Regent's 

 Glen" or "Prince Regent's Glen" is a north-westerly 

 ravine extending from its intersection with the main 

 Kanimbla Valley back to an abrupt rocky end in the neigh- 

 bourhood of Campbell's Cataract. 



Weatherboard Hut.— At the 28 miles (from Emu Ford) 

 they arrived says Cunningham "at a wooden house, erected 

 originally as a store for the preservation of provisions for 

 the use of the men working along the road, 1 and now con- 

 verted into a Half-way House. This is the celebrated 

 structure whose name is even yet familiar to older people
