With cold water the solution is the same as that of No. 60 as 

 far as colour is concerned, but the sediment instead of being 

 powdery, is of a gelatinous consistence, and may be drawn out 

 into threads. Alcohol yields a bright red liquid. 



It was analysed October, 1888, with the following result: — 

 Catechin and tannic acid ... 82*4 



Ligneous matter ... ... ... 1*1 



Moisture ... 16-1 



Ash -4 



100-00 

 Tannic acid determination (Lowenthal) 56*888 per cent. 



Eucalyptus terminalis, F.v.M., B.F1. Hi. 257. 



No. 63. "Bloodwood" of the interior of N.S.W. Whitta- 

 branah, Tibooburra, N.S.W. 29th October, 1887. Height, 30-40 

 feet. Diam., 1-2 feet. 



This tree is for the most part sparsely distributed, and then 

 only on rivers and creeks ; also very few trees exude kino, and 

 then only in small quantity. This sample has quite freshly 

 exuded. It is in very small fragments with attached bark. It is 

 of a pale ruby colour, and very bright looking. It is readily 

 reducible to a powder between the fingers. Colour of powder 

 dark salmon. It has a slight vinous smell. 



In cold water it yields a pale orange-brown liquid with a light 

 brown sediment, in appearance much like (though lighter than) 

 some specimens of E. corymbosa kino. 



It was analysed August, 1891, with the following result : — 

 Catechin and tannic acid .. ... 85*3 



Ligneous matter, &c. ... ... 1*3 



Moisture 13-2 



Ash -2 



100-0 

 Tannic acid determination (Lowenthal), 63*5 per cent., the 

 highest percentage obtained during these investigations.
