M Descriptive Notes on Papuan Plants. 
Marinuccij Consul General for Italy at Melbourne. These phytologic 
data have reference to Mount Arfak and occur in a letter^ written by 
Beccari last year after his ascent of that mountain. He speaks of finding 
there an Araucaria^ a Gunnera^ an Epilobium and a Balanophora; of 
which genera no species from any part of Papua were known before. 
In the same volume of Cora’s journal several passages (at pp, 104^ 105 
and 107) are contained from Signor D’Albertis’s letters^ pointing to the 
occurrence of two Eucalypts at Epa on the Ethrel- or Nicura- River and 
towards Mount Yule. A representative of the genus Rhododendron 
seems also to have been found by the Italian sicientific travellers.
