The arrangement of the species in the first portion of the 

 paper is alphabetical. 



1. E. alba Reinw. (including E. platyphylla F.v.M.) See 

 Grit. Rev. 1 iii, 91, 95, 97. 



"Lennard River, near Lukin's old station buildings; 

 Isdell, Charnley, Calder and Ord Rivers ; Dillen's Springs* 

 Tree of 40 — 50 feet, trunk to 25 feet, diam. 1\ feet, bark 

 greyish to reddish, thin, decorticating in strips, leaving 

 the trunk and limbs smooth and cream-coloured; timber 

 pale, rather soft and very brittle; leaves often five inches 

 long by four inches broad; operculum double; filaments 

 white — A "Cabbage Gum" of the Lennard River — In moist 

 sandy loam overlying sandstone and quartzite." (W. V. 

 Fitzgerald, MSS.). This supplements what has been hitherto 

 recorded in regard to the North West Australian tree. 



2. E. cassia Benth. See Crit. Rev. iii, 31. 



Through the kindness of Mr. W T . O. Grasby, I have 

 received specimens of this beautiful and little known 

 Eucalypt from Mr. O. A. Fauntleroy, Uberin Hill, " in a 

 gully of the granite hill," Dowerin, W.A. (Mr. A. E. Arney 

 informed Mr. Grasby that the species also occurs about 

 seventy miles east of Katanning, but no specimens were 

 produced).
