798 EUCALYfTS OF NEW SOUTH WALES, 



or 15 years later, who can say which is best 1 Certainly not 

 the average bushman. It is often, I know, too short to run 

 into rails. I have seen trees that you could not run into 7 foot 

 posts even if struck 6 inches thick. I split a tree of this species 

 85 feet in length of barrel by 2 feet in diameter; it flowered here 

 last season in January, the trees being great masses of bloom, 

 very noticeable, although distant on the ranges from one to two 

 miles. It is known here as Woolly-butt, Woolly-bark, or White 

 Stringybark " (A. R. Crawford, Moona Plains, Walcha, July, 

 1898).

We have not had a sufficient opportunity of examining these 

 trees, although we have been favoured with herbarium specimens 

 by Mr. Baker, and therefore hesitate to pronounce any strong 

 opinion as to their affinities. Mr. Baker places them both among 

 the " Stringybarks." It seems, however, to us that^. dextropinea 

 has some characters in common with B. jnlularis, and we think 

 it is a pity that the chemical products of that species had not been 

 inquired into before naming the two new ones. We must, how- 

 ever, offer our protest against naming species after recondite 

 properties which can only be recognised after close analysis in the 

 laboratoiy.

At page 597 we stated that we were in doubt as to the mean- 

 ing of the term Muzzlewood as applied to this species. We have 

 ascertained that on account of its toughness it is often selected 

 for making muzzles for unweaned calves.
