is transparent and bright-looking, and easily powdered. Frag- 

 ments of the very fibrous bark are usually attached to the 

 pieces. 



In cold water it forms a clear solution of a pale ruby colour. 

 Eesidue Vandyke brown. 



Kino-tannic acid, 65*48 per cent. ; insoluble phlobaphenes, 

 3*6 per cent.; soluble in cold water, 96'0 per cent. 



10. " Broad-leaved Stringybark." Bangiey Creek, Cambe- 

 warra, 29th March, 1888. Height, 40-60 ft. ; diam., 1-2 ft. 



This specimen was obtained in the same neighbourhood as the 

 preceding one, but it is Vjy no means so fresh-looking, having 

 obviously remained on the trees for a much longer time. 



Cold water yields a medium ruby liquid. Colour of residue 

 Vandyke brown. 



Kino-tannic acid, 59'37 per cent.; insoluble phlobaphenes, 7*5 

 per cent.; soluble in cold water, 91-6 per cent. 



11. '"Stringybark." Between the Valley and Springwood, 

 Blue Mountains, KS.W., 3rd April, 1888. Height, 60 ft. ; 

 diam., 1 ft. 



Kino of this species is difficult to collect, like that of other 

 stringybarks, as it becomes firmly cemented to the fibrous bark. 

 It is something like E. ohliqua Kino, but perhaps more similar 

 in appearance to that of E. inperitci from the same locality. It 

 is intermediate in toughness between the two Kinos. Colour of 

 powder purplish-brown. 



Cold water forms a medium ruby liquid, inclining to reddish- 

 brown. Residue dark brown. 



Kino-tannic acid, 64-26 per cent. ; insoluble phlobaphenes, 

 2-5 per cent.; soluble in cold water, 97*0 per cent. 



12. "Stringybark." Barney's Wharf, Shoalhaven, "NT.S.W., 

 August, 1888. Height, 60-80 ft. ; diam., 2-3 ft. Freshly exuded ; 

 of a rich ruby colour. Yields a pale ruby liquid to cold water. 



Kino-tannic acid, 65*46 per cent.; insoluble phlobaphenes, 

 2*9 per cent.; soluble in cold water, 96*4 per cent.
