necessary to contradict it at such length. To be specific, E. 

 globulus does not occur in the county of St. Vincent, or so far 

 east ; it is only here and there, and then sparsely, found on the 

 N.S.W. side of the Murray. E. Maideni is a common tree on the 

 mountains about Araluen, where it is called " Blue Gum." E. 

 globulus has been specially looked for, during six seasons, from 

 Shoalhaven to the Victorian border, but without success, and the 

 specimens seen, referred to E. globulus by local people, all belong 

 to the species named E. Maideni by Baron von Mueller. 



No. 51. From Colombo, Candelo, N.S.W., « Blue Gum." 

 Height, 80 to 120 feet. Diam., 2 to 5 feet. 



This sample has a brighter appearance externally than the 

 majority of kinos belonging to this group ; it is of a dark sienna 

 colour, powders readily between the fingers, the powder having an 

 ochrey colour. Dissolves in water almost entirely to a dirty brown 

 colour, the water remaining very turbid. 



Its composition (determined August, 1891) is : — 

 Catechin and tannic acid ... 79*75 



Ligneous matter, &c. ... ... 3*2 



Moisture 15*77 



Ash 1*28 



100 00 

 Tannic acid determination (Lowenthal) 25*5 per cent. 

 No. 52. "Blue Gum," from Bolaro Mountain, gathered Sept., 

 1890. Height of tree, 150 feet. Diam., 2 feet. 

 Resembles previous specimen in appearance. 



Eucalyptus Gunnii, Hook., B.F1. iii. 246. 



No. 53. The kino examined is from a variety known as " Flooded 

 or Bastard Gum," and was obtained from Delegate, near the 

 Victorian border. Collected May, 1887. Height of trees, 60-80 

 feet. Diam., 2-3 feet. 



Appearance and friability normal. Cold water yields a pale 

 orange solution, leaving a quantity of sediment of a salmon colour, 

 in which are interspersed a few dark coloured particles.
