I also found this species on the road from Liverpool to Bringelly, near 
Cabramatta (the old village of that name, now called Rossmore). The water here is 
also brackish in a drv time. Here we have localities at a considerable distance from 
the sea-shore, or tidal water, showing that the species is not exclusively confined to 
the coast. It has also been proved to be an inland species in New South Wales, and 
much more inland than in Western Australia. It would appear, therefore, that both 
in New South Wales and in Western Australia the vicinity of brackish water is 
necessary for the existence of this species. 
Acting District Forester W. F. Crowley has sent this “ Swamp Oak ” to me 
from Bodalla and Bermagui, the latter being the most southerly locality known 
to me.

For the sake of clearness it maybe stated that the. Blackwood is abundant on 
the table-land, and on the edges and slopes of the table-land in such southern 
localities as far north as Barrengarry Mountain and the Kangaroo Valley generally, 
Cambewarra Mountain, the Berry Mountain, Ptobertson, and the Macquarie Pass. 
What its most northerly locality is south of Sydney, I do not know, but as the 
species approaches Sydney, it greatly diminishes in size. 
Amongst Sydney localities I have it from Carlton (Mr. Clarke), and Lane 
Cove (Mr. E. A. Smith), probably both from spontaneous trees. 
North of Port Jackson I have it from Gentleman’s Halt, Ilawkcsbury River 
^A. Murphy).
