15/5/66.

I have many additions to the localities of the plants enumerated by you, dear Mr Bentham. For instance from Rockinghams Bay. The three cases with Eucalypti & supplementary reached me safely. I am glad for the correction of the nomenclature, which now enables me to carry on further researches into the specif. demarkations in this genus. is becoming now more & more valuable, since I proved how rich many species are in acetic acid, in tar & naphtha.
