The same singular distinction marked the acacia pendula, when it ceased to cover the interior plains of light earth, and was succeeded by another shrub of the same species.

It continued to the banks of New-Year's Creek, a part of which it thickly lined.

To the westward of the creek, another species of acacia was remarked for the first time.

Both shrubs, like the blue-gum and the box, mixed their branches together, but the creek formed the line of separation between them.

The acacia pendula was not afterwards seen, but that which had taken its place, as it were, was found to cover large tracts of country and to form extensive brushes.
