Wm. Wilks, Triandrus pulchellus, Burbidgei type, John Bain, Ellen Barr, and Poëticus ornatus. In conclusion I should wish it to be understood that I do not pose as an authority on the daffodil in Australia, and my remarks in this paper are made "with bated breath and whispering humbleness." I may, however, claim to be an earnest student who, in the face of many difficulties, has devoted several years to the subject, and, I think, been instrumental, with others, in spreading the popularity of this beautiful spring flower at the Antipodes. 66 BOOKS PRESENTED TO THE SOCIETY'S LIBRARY DURING THE YEAR 1898.
