Notes on the discovery of a new Eucalyptus

A few notes on the discovery of a new Eucalypt may be of some interest to the Fellows of the Royal Society, especially the introductory remarks, for whioh I am greatly indebted to our illustrious honorary member Baron von Mueller who thus forwards his determination on what he considers a most important botanical discovery.
During a recent exploration, for the Government, of the country situated between the townships o£ New Norfolk and· Victoria, au Eucalypt which had never come under my observation during any of my numerous wanderings through the unexplored portions of Tasmania, and one which I could not find described in the Flora of the Colonies, was first observed on a saddle of the dividing range between the Huon and Derwent watersheds.
