Mr. J. H. Gregory described the White Mallet tree id ie me 
more straggly than Brown Mallet. He says it is like a White 
Gum (£. redunca), and that one locality is 20 miles from Narrogin 
(near the Willis River). 
To me it was a “ Will o’ the Wisp.” Any White Mallet trees 
shown to me were similar to Brown Mallets, and I travelled many 
a mile after the White Mallet. Brown Mallets I felled myself and 
took herbarium specimens from them, but it remains to pe proved 
if the White Mallet differs botanically from the Brown o 
Mallet Bark is chiefly shipped to the continent of pe (largely, 
es 2 mainly) from Albany, and principally to Hamburg and 
Antw For these two markets it is sent in sacks, broken or 
ottialted into pieces about 2 inches long. 
There is a smaller market for it in the Eastern States, principally 
New South Wales and Victoria, and for those markets it is shipped 
in powder, 
For ehipment from Albany it comes from Tambellup, Katanning, 
and even more northern stations 
The price of Mallet Bark was £4 15s. a ton on the trucks in 
1909. - Broome Hill seems a very active centre for it, in fact the 
local police say it is the centre
