‘ Dthah-dthaang,” which may be of this species. He says “this 
timber is not very highly prized.’’ He finds its specific gravity 
to be .838 (or 52.26lb. per cubic foot), the value of E to be 175.14, 
and of S 212.2. 
Further particulars in regard to the timber of this species 
would be very desirable. Height, up to z2ooft.

The ‘ Yate,” or “ Yeit,” of Western Australia. 
This hard and elastic wood is sought particularly for cart- 
shafts, agricultural implements, and boat-ribs, being for these 
purposes as useful as Z. Joxophleba, and approaching in value to 
English Ash. It is a heavy wood, sinking in water even when 
well dried, being the heaviest of all West Australian timbers ; 
when air-dried it has a specific gravity of 1.235. (Mueller.) 
Height, up to 1ooft.

267. Eucalyptus corymbosa, Sth, (Syn. Metrosideros gummifera, 
Soland.); B.FI., iii., 256. 
The ‘ Bloodwood” of New South Wales and Queensland. By the 
aboriginals of Southern Queensland it is called “‘ Boona.” 
On account of being subject to gum-veins, it is not a 
favourite as sawn timber, but it is very durable, and is principally 
used for posts and rails, as it does not readily take fire, nor does 
it suffer much from white ants, and very little from damp ‘situations. 
It is easily worked when fresh, but becomes very hard when dry.
