Gilbert stated he had seen specimens standing nine feet high.

Brown brought a carpet snake, and a brown snake with yellow belly.

On a botanical excursion I found a new Loranthus, with flat linear leaves, on Casuarina, a new species of Scaevola, Buttneria, and three species of Solanum.

Mr.Hodgson brought a shrubby Goodenia; another species with linear leaves, and with very small yellow blossoms, growing on moist places in the forest; two shrubby Compositae; three different species of Dodonaea, entering into fruit; and a Stenochilus, R.Br.

with red blossoms, the most common little shrub of the forest.
Mr.Gilbert brought me a piece of coal from the crossing place of the creek of the 10th October.
