“Narrow-leaved Apple Tree.” 
A kino of a reddish-brown colour and brittle nature. From 
this circumstance, the small masses in which it is obtained speedily 
lose their bright appearance. It forms a dull-looking powder of a 
pinkish-brown colour. Water acts but slowly upon it, forming a 
pale reddish-brown solution, and leaving abundance of sediment. 
A sample from Colombo, near Candelo, N.S.W., yielded the 
author 90.7 per cent. of extract, and 46.95 per cent. of kino-tannic 
monet? 70c: 1.S., LVS. W., 1887, p. 83.) 
Angophoras yield a watery liquid in some abundance, which 
occasionally goes by the name of “liquid kino.” That name is 
misleading, as it does not harden to form ordinary kino. A 
sample of this liquid is in the Technological Museum, obtained 
from a tree more than two feet in diameter by making a few cuts 
through and under the bark, in order to look for kino. Eight or 
ten gallons of the liquid could have been obtained from that one 
tree. It has a specific gravity of 1.008, and is a clear reddish- 
brown liquid. It has an acidulous smell, acetic acid being 
plainly discernible, but accompanied by a strong and unpleasant 
odour, reminding one somewhat of spent tan.
