13 .-- We travelled about nine miles E.N.E.over the high land, and through open forest land, and several plains skirted on both sides by scrub.

I observed a new species of Flindersia, a small tree about thirty feet high, with thin foliage and very regular branches, forming a spire.
The latitude was 23 degrees 29 minutes.

14 .-- After travelling about three miles in a north-easterly direction along the banks of the river--having, at about a mile from our camp, crossed a good-sized creek on its left bank--the river took a sudden bend to the westward, and a large creek coming from the northward, joined it almost at a right angle to its course.

As we proceeded, we came suddenly upon two black women hurrying out of the water, but who, on reaching a distance in which they thought themselves safe, remained gazing at us as we slowly and peaceably passed by.

In the bed of the river, which was here broad and sandy, a bean was gathered, bearing racemes of pink blossoms, and spreading its long slender stem over the ground, or twining it round shrubs and trees: its pods were from three to five inches long, and about half an inch broad, containing from four to six seeds, very similar to the horse-bean.
