The South Australian Naturalist. 
\J. 
Members of the society would do well to note just where 
these trees come in on the various roads. The planning of the 
areas occupied by the principal trees in South Australia is an im- 
portant and useful work. Prof. Osborn in particular has done 
splendid work in this connection. 
This species does not occur in an unbroken forest to the South 
East but is separated by a large area of mailee and swamps. It 
disappears as the Mt. Lofty range ends at Encounter Bay. For 
over 100 miles the stringybark is absent and occurs again where 
the heavier rainfall of Mt. Gambler is experienced. Altitude does 
not play an important part in the occurrence of E. obliqua in the 
South East as the country in which It grows, viz., Millicent, Glen- 
coe, Mt. Gambler, near Glenelg River, is under 1000 feet above 
sea level. But rainfall is an important factor and Mt. Gambler 
receives an average of 31.66 inches per year.
