with the pestle, the large pieces of Z. Szeberiana kino readily 
becoming dulled by a coating of their own powder. It is readily 
soluble in cold or hot water.

This kino very much resembles in appearance that of Z. 
Siebertana. It fractures readily, forming angular, bright garnet 
grains, but it is too tenacious to powder well. It is exceedingly 
astringent. It yielded the author 62.96 per cent. of tannic acid, 
and it is practically entirely soluble in water, the author having 
found it soluble to the extent of 99.22 percent. (Proc. R.S., 
NV.S.W., 1887, p. 191.) 
Victoria and New South Wales. 
34. Eucalyptus Stuartiana, /.v.J7., N.O., Myrtacez, B.FI., iii.,

““Turpentine Tree.” ‘‘ Apple-scented Gum.” (For synonyms and

Mr. Bauerlen, who collected a quantity of this kino for the 
Technological Museum on the borders of New South Wales and 
Victoria, gave me the following scrap of information. Some 
ladies who saw him thus employed assured him that they knew 
of nothing which cleanses the teeth so quickly and effectually as 
this kino. Its friability, combined with its astringency, have 
doubtless given it this reputation. 
It is a comparatively dull-looking kino, having somewhat the 
appearance of seed-lac, and the particles are equally variable in 
point of colour. It is exceedingly brittle, forming a powder of a 
dull sienna-brown. It only partially dissolves in water, forming 
abundant sediment of an ochrey-brown colour.
