GUMS, RESINS, AND KINOS. 245 
“Turpentine Tree,’ or ‘“Tallow-wood.” (For other names, see 
<* Timbers.’’) 
A sample in the Technological Museum has crumbled into 
small pieces, for the most part of the size of currants. In bulk, it 
looks remarkably like a parcel of uncut garnets. Owing to the 
friability of the kino, the bright fractures become dulled with 
very little friction. Colour of powder, orange-brown. It is readily 
soluble in water, leaving a turbid residue, which eventually dis- 
solves. Mr. Staiger gives the specific gravity at 1.395, and the 
percentage of tannin 53.33.

A “Stringybark.” (For other synonyms and vernacular names, see 
““Timbers.”’) 
Like other stringybarks, this yields a kino of a ruby colour, 
perfectly transparent and bright-looking, and quite soluble in 
water. 
South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales. 
a7. Eucalyptus odorata, Behr., N.O., Myrtacezx, B.FI., iii., 215. 
“White Box.” ‘‘ Peppermint.” (For botanical synonyms and _ ver- 
nacular names, see “‘ Timbers.”’) 
A dull-looking kino, very pulverulent (for a kino), forming a 
dark, dirty-brown powder. It is apparently not obtainable in large 
pieces. 
South Australia, Victoria and South-east New South Wales.

“She Ironbark.” (For other names and synonyms, see ‘“ Timbers.”) 
Fresh kino of this species is characteristic, as far as my speci- 
mens go, It resembles orange lac in appearance to a marked 
degree, though some fragments vary in tint to brown and garnet 
lac. In all cases the resinous appearance of the kino is strikingly 
similar to lac. It is brittle, and forms a bright powder. It dis-
