This species is dedicated to Prof. A. Liversidge, m.a., 

 ll.d., f.r.s., of the Sydney University, and twice President 

 of our Society, as a slight recognition of his efforts in the 

 furtherance of industrial science in Australia. It was due 

 largely to his efforts that the Technological Museum, 

 Sydney, was established, and as one of the original Com- 

 mittee of Management he was ever enthusiastic in its 

 development, and is always ready to place his mature 

 experience at the disposal of its officers. 



We have to acknowledge our indebtedness to Mr. J. H. 

 Maiden, f.l.s., for his kindness in allowing us the use of 

 the Leptospermums of the National Herbarium for com- 

 parative purposes, and also to Mr. E. G. Duffus, Secretary 

 for Agriculture, Melbourne, and Mr. J. R. Tovey, the 

 officer in charge of the Victorian Herbarium, for similar 

 favours.
