pany with 2. stellulata, B. rubida, EH. coriacea, BH. aggregata. It 
had young bud in September, which were narrow and pointed. 
An interesting hybrid Euealyptus.—I have recorded for Mar- 
rangaroo. It appears to be a cross between HL. micrantha and 
BE. piperita, which I later showed to Mr. W. F. Blakely. It is 
growing about 500 or 600 feet above the surrounding country 
on the top of a ridge in company with E. piperita, E. micrantha, 
BE. Sieberiana, and FE. eugenioides, which are in its immediate 
vicinity. Height 40 to 50 feet; diameter of trunk at butt 3 feet 
from the ground. 18 to 20 inches. Barrel extends for 8 or 9 
feet, then branches. Bark on main stem to branches of typical 
E. piperita kind. From the top of barrel to end of branches 
smooth, creamy white with purplish mottling like that of JZ. 
mierantha. Adult leaves narrow lanceolate, and somewhat fal- 
cate, of same shape and size as those of E. micrantha, but differ- 
ing in not being glaucous and of a darker green; the venation 
of both corresponds closely, average size of leaf 43 x 3/8 inches. 
Sucker leaves at 16 to 18 feet from the ground, slightly broader, 
but lanceolate, lighter green, and inclined to glaucousness. Fruit 
slightly urceolate, but having a broader rim than in Z. piperita, 
and not inclined to pipe, narrower at the mouth than the fruit 
of E. micrantha. The fruit is slightly smaller. than that of E. 
piperita and approaching more nearly to that of EH. micrantha.

Of the Proteaceae the only Grevillea’s here are G. acanthi- 
folia, and G. laurifolia; and the Waratah is absent. Though the 
western boundary of this flower is only about 8 miles east, by 
air line; Xylomelum and Lambertia are also absent, but seem to 
be on the boundary line of the eastern and middle western coun- 
try of the State, as the country opens out west from here, the 
Cox’s: River being the last eastern water. One sees the dividing
