Eucalyptus Bauerleni, F.v.M. in Victorian Naturalist, October, 



1890. 



No. 55. This species is confined to South-eastern New South 

 Wales. Sample of kino obtained from Sugar-loaf Mountain, 

 Braid wood, N.S.W., September, 1890, from trees 40 feet high, 

 with a diameter of 6 inches. 



A fresh, bright-looking kino of a reddish-brown colour, friability 

 and colour of powder normal. I have not sufficient kino, at 

 present, to make a complete examination of it. 



The kinos of the following species 



E. punctata 



E. longifolia 

 differ from each other, and appear to have no close affinities with 

 any of the previously described kinos. 



Eucalyptus punctata, DC. 



No. 56. " Grey Gum " or " Leather-jacket." The Valley, Blue 

 Mountains, N.S.W., 3rd April, 1888. Height, 80 feet. Diam., 

 3 feet. 



This kino, especially when in large masses, somewhat resembles 

 hepatic aloes in appearance, but it is far more brittle than that 

 substance, crumbling without much difficulty by pressure of the 

 fingers. Its colour may be described as of very dark brown, with 

 a slight orange tint, and comparing it with still another substance, 

 one from the mineral kingdom, it is much like the so-called 

 melanite garnets from Franklin, New Jersey, U.S.A. The 

 colour of this and many other gums, resins, &c, cannot be 

 distinctively described without making a comparison with the 

 tint of some well-known substance. The powder is of an ochre 

 colour, slightly more brown than Oxford ochre. 



When freshly gathered it has a vinous odour, somewhat similar 

 to, but less powerful than that of the kino of E. maculata. I 

 happened to tap quite a reservoir of 8 or lOIbs. of this kino, which
