higher parts. A white daisy ( Olearia ramulosa) is found in 
flower and other plants occurring are the drooping sheoak, golden 
wattle, and native cherry. Proceeding in the same direction and 
then into the gully itself, the manna gum takes charge of the 
situation. One grass tree seems to be out of place here, as it is a 
denizen of higher parts than this. On these lower sites is seen also 
the kangaroo grass, native cranberry, native lilac ( Hardenbergia 
monopliylla ) , century, prickly guinea flower, and a yellow, button- 
type daisy ( Calocephalus citreus). Crossing the gully now and 
taking the slope facing south, just below the railway line, the 
stringybark is the only species of note, and an odd tree of black- 
wood is seen in this part where the soil is finer and the water 
content is much higher. Where a small creeklet occurs, the 
manna gum takes advantage of the extra supply of water to 
flourish in it ; the bundled ground heath is also much at 
home here. 
One is particularly struck with the influence of altitude or 
position of the slopes on the occurrence of the different species 
of the Eucalypts or other plants. This is well exemplified in the 
ridge which we have just examined, and it obtains as a general 
rule throughout the reserve.
