2. Bangley Creek, near Cambewarra, collected in March, from 

 trees in diam. 1-2 ft. 



This is obviously a fresher sample than A. intermedia No. 1. 

 It is so like A. lanceolata No. 2 as scarcely to be distinguished 

 from it in bulk. In water its behaviour is similar to that of the 

 preceding sample, but the solution is of a pale orange colour. 



3. A second sample from Bangley Creek, Cambewarra, collected 

 in April, from trees height 60-80 ft., diam. 1-3 ft. 



It is a very clean sample, is neither perfectly new nor very old, 

 is in smallish pieces, and of a garnet colour. On account of its 

 friability, it can be reduced to a light orange powder between the 

 fingers without much difficulty. The kino in bulk has a slightly 

 dulled appearance, although individual fragments break with a 

 bright fracture. 



4. From Eastwood, near Sydney, collected in April, from trees 

 height 80 ft., diam. 2 ft. 



This sample much resembles No. 2. It is, however, decidedly 

 darker in bulk, even inclining to liver-colour, and is somewhat 

 opaque. It readily crushes between the fingers to a burnt sienna 

 powder, slightly darker than the standard tint. It is evidently 

 the oldest of the A. intermedia samples. To water it yields a rich 

 orange-brown liquid when filtered. With alcohol the filtrate is of 

 a dark orange-brown. 



Angophora lanceolata, Cav. " Red Gum," " Orange Gum," 

 " Rusty Gum." 



In collecting kino from this tree it may be well to remind people 

 that the smooth trunk might perhaps be mistaken by a careless 

 observer for that of Eucalyptus maculata, but the two kinos cannot 

 be confused even by a tyro. I submit notes on two kinos of this 

 species. This kino is abundant, and readily gathered on account 

 of the smoothness of the bark. The tree obtains its vernacular 

 names owing to the kino stains on the pale-coloured stem.
