‘““Corkwood.” “Elm.” ‘ Onungunabie” is the name by which it is 
known to the aboriginals of the Clarence River (New South Wales). 
*‘Ngmoo ” is another aboriginal name. 
Timber white or yellowish, soft, close-grained, and firm, though 
succulent in a green state. It is used for carving and wood- 
engraving. Its bark resembles that of the Cork Oak. The late 
Mr. Macpherson, teacher of wood-carving in the Technical College, 
Sydney, informed the author that he was using large quantities of 
this wood, and was much pleased with it. On the face-grain it 
gives a clean surface with facility, but it is very difficult to work on 
the end-grain. It has no figure to speak of. Two slabs of this 
wood in the Technological Museum, which have been seasoned

International Exhibition of 1862), have weights which correspond 
to 30lb. and 3o0lb. 120z. respectively per cubic foot. Diameter, 
12 to 24in.; height, 20 to 2sft. 
New South Wales and Queensland.

It is called ‘‘ Bullerum ” by the aboriginals of Northern New South Wales. 
Timber fragrant, and much valued for indoor work, furniture, 
cabinet-work, turning, wood engraving, and ship-building. 
Speaking of a Queensland specimen sent to the Colonial 
and Indian Exhibition, Mr. Allen Ransome says: ‘‘ This wood is 
of a reddish colour, with a good figure. It worked excellently in
