7. Teni son-Woods, Julian E. "North Australia; its 

 physical geography and natural history," 8vo. pp. 46, Govt. 

 Printer, Adelaide, 1864. Chapter viii, p. 38, Botany, gives 

 a very condensed summary, chiefly of Mueller's then recent 

 Northern Territory results. (A. O. Gregory's expedition of 

 1856). Father Tenison-Woods' account of geographical 

 explorations to date, includes those of tropical Western 

 Australia, and has been well done. 



8. Bentham, George. " Flora Australiensis," Vol. n, 

 (1864). This is the work which contains by far the most 

 important account of Nor- West Acacias to date, and of 

 course other plants. 



A. bossi^ojdes A. Ounn. 

 In Cunningham's MS. Journal, Vol. n, p. 60, under date 

 6th August, 1819, he says, "Liverpool River, North Coast. 

 I gathered specimens, although without flower or fruit of 

 an Acacia (evidently) having the habit of a flat-stemmed 

 Bossicea." He then gave a description in Latin. 



Bentham (B.F1. ii, 320) "gives Liverpool River, North- 

 west Coast"; it is, however, in the Northern Territory, 

 and B. Gulliver, one of Mueller's correspondents, collected 

 it in the same place. It remains to be proved that it is a 

 Nor- West plant. 



Seemann, in "Die in Europa eingefiihrten Acacien" 

 (Hanover, 1852), has a figure of "A. bossiceoides" in flower 

 drawn by J. D. Hooker, but it is A. glaucoptera Benth.

 N.W. Coast, Bynoe. See a note by myself in this Journal,

 Fitzgerald in Journ. W.A. Nat. Hist. Soc, May, 1904, p. 46. 



1 jThe second of the serial numbers of the Acacias enumerated in this 

 paper. Henceforward the numbers can be readily picked up.
