Wales, is soluble in water to the extent of 99.22 per cent., and 
yielded the author 57.76 per cent. of kino tannic acid. (Proc. 
R.S., N.S W., 1887, p. 36.) The kino of another variety, ‘‘ Pep- 
permint,” yielded the author (/oc. ccf. 192) 96.06 per cent. of 
extract, and 58.41 per cent. of kino-tannic acid.

‘““Swamp Mahogany.” (For other names, see “ Timbers.”) 
This species appears to yield but little kino. Some sent from 
a tree known in the Illawarra district of New South Wales as 
“ White Gum,” or “ Scribbly Gum,” varies in colour from pinkish 
yo a dark ruby colour. This decidedly pink colour is somewhat 
unusual in kinos. It appears of a brown colour when broken up.

“Red Gum” of Western Australia. 
Baron Mueller has stated that the viscid kino of this tree is 
obtainable in considerable quantity, and that it is soluble in cold 
water to the extent of 70 to 80 per cent. It appears to be 
one of the most abundant and useful of Eucalyptus kinos.

“ Bloodwood.” (For other vernacular names, see ‘‘ Timbers.’’) 
This tree is as fortunate in its vernacular name as any of 
the Eucalypts. When freshly exuded, the kino has all the appear- 
ance of a stream of blood, and so freely does it flow that 
frequently the appearance of the ground at the foot of one of these 
trees is quite startling. The kino runs down the tree in large 
quantities, dries almost immediately, becoming exceedingly brittle- 
When freshly exuded it has a distinct smell, which, as far as I 
know, is characteristic, and soon recognised. It has something 
of a vinous odour. Much of the kino exuded becomes entangled
