Species observed: E. angulosa, Schaii.; E. jasciculosa, F.v.M.; 
E. gracilis, F.v.'M.; E, dumosa, Cunn.; E. transcontiveutalis, Alai- 
den; E. oleosa, F.v.Ai.; E. calycogona, Turez. 
d'he first quarter-mile from the Finnis station was under cul- 
tivation, with a row of well-grown E. fascicidosa along the edge. 
/V large area of mallec scrub fpllowcd on a front of about \\ 
miles. The predominating species was 79. cmgxilosa (flotvering 
frecl)'; very occasionalh' the cream filaments were tinged with 
red at their base). Associated with it were E. fasciculosa (as a 
shrub, or rarely a stunted tree), E. dumosa and E. gracilis, an? 
occasional patch of E. Iranscontinentalis (in flower), and very 
rarely IE calycogona (in fruit only; no buds seen).. Cultivated 
land followed this and continued to the Sandergrove station, but 
there was a narrow bell along the edge consisting of E. angidosa, 
E, fasciculosa and E. gracilis. In the vicinity of the station, i'n 
addition to the last three, E. dumosa appeared, with a little 
iranscontinentalis and one small patch of typical E. oleosa grow- 
ing as a malice abotit 12 feet high. 
\ ariation in E. dumosa was marked, in one instance sliow- 
ing transition towards E. coiiglobala, R.Br. var. anceps. The 
A. transcontinentalis did not have the glaucous leaves of the type 
and might therefore ha\'c been referred to E. oleosa, but It is 
better included with the former species as it a well defined form 
v/ith constant long-rostrate opcrcula, not at all characteristic of 
t} pical E. oleosa.
