]. Hieni then describes a Ficus Parkinsoni* * * § using Parkinson’s draw- 
ing. This plant was collected by Banks, 2.3rd August, 1770, at Booby 
Island, Torres Straits. 
2. F. virginea. Banks and Sol. MSS., Booby Island. The “ species 
(Ficus vin/inea) was also collected by K. Brown, n. 3,231, at the banks 
of the Hunter’s and Paterson’s rivers below their junction, on Ash 
Island,! &c., in October and Xovember, 1804. He identified bis 
specimens with those of Banks. (Hiern, op. cit. p. 3.) 
The other species are : — 
3. F. platypodn, A. Cunn., from Bustard Bay and Xorthumberland 
Island. 
4. F. opposita, Mi(j., Labyrinth Bay, Palm Island, and Rocky 
Point, Endeavour Careening Place. (The F. radulu of Banks’ 
.lournal.) 
5. F. glomerata, Roxb., Endeavour River. This is the F. cnudici- 
flora of Banks’ .lournal.

Parts I and II of Britten’s “ Illustrations of the Botany of Cook’s 
Voyage,” comparing the names on the plates with those in the “ Flora 
.A.ustraliensis.” 
On the publication of the third! concluding Part of the work, 
I wrote a paper entitled “ Observations on the Illustrations of the 
Banks and Solander Plants,” (Proc. Roy. Soc., 190-O p. -34), which I print 
almost in estenso in order that tlie interesting discussion arising from 
it mav be understood : — 
“The i,ssue of the third and final volume of the Illustrations con- 
temporaneously prepared by Banks’ artist.s, is an event which 
assuredly demands the most marked emphasis that we Australians an 
give it. It is, to us at least, an important historical event. Xew Soutl 
Wales was settled seventeen years later as a consequence of Cook’i 
voyage, and the only j)lace (Botany Bay — called by Cook, Htingra; 
Harbour) in modern Xew South Wales, visited by the expeilition, n 
a suburb of Sydney. This voyage, therefore, has special interest fo. 
us, and it would he regrettable if the appearance of this work wen 
ignored by .\ustralian scientific men. 
■‘Through the good offices of Mr. Britten, the Trustees of the British 
Museum recently presented nearlv fiOO specimens collected by Banks 
and Solander to the Xational Herbarium, Sydney. Many of them 
are depicted in the work before us. 
* I suggested to Mr. Britten tliat this miglit be F. Henneana, but he states that it is not that 
species. 
t This new species puzzles me, and I know the locality well. The type is in the British Museum, 
and no herbarium specimen of it is in .\ustralia as far as 1 know.
