MS annotation by M: 'Betw Murrumbidgee & Lachlan R'. Garland had left many gaps in his list; it appears that someone else added their thoughts before the list was sent to M, who then completed the identifications. Parts written by M are in in bold.
'Halgania cyanea (Lindley)' entered in pencil in an unknown hand after: '? Solanum' which has been deleted.
8 deleted and replaced by 9.
floribunda RBr added by M; the entire entry has then been crossed out and M has written in the margin: '9 (bis) Halgania cyanea Lindley'.
tomentosa Lindley in M's hand has been crossed out.
Helelichrysum in an unknown hand; lucidum, Henkel added by M.
?Floribunda added in an unknown hand.
Phyllanthus.
Simplicicaulis pencil addition in an unknown hand.
?Corymbosa pencilled addition in an unknown hand.
?same as 41. pencil note in an unknown hand.
40 probably A homalophylla Marginal pencilled note by M.
A. Baileyana?
Marianthus procumbens entered in an unknown hand.
Styphelia (Leucopogon) entered by M, then crossed out.

A locality, now a suburb of Wagga Wagga, about 7 k N of the town centre.
NSW.
M's comments on nos 63, 65 and 66 are on a separate sheet but have been inserted here at the appropriate places.
Not all specimens listed are now present at MEL. All of those numbered 2-36 inclusive that were retained are dated to the year 1888; the remainder are dated 1887. However, Garland re-used numbers, presumably in different consignments; for example, there are three collections at MEL with his number 1, however the one from Wagga was collected in 1887. The list is therefore dated to 1888 as the earliest that M could have responded. Many of the specimens are recorded in AVH under redetermined names or synonyms of the names given here.
