also specimens of the wood, other than the sap-wood. 
Small axe-cut specimens answer all requirements. 
The Tasmanian Eucalypts are of special interest, in that 
many of them were among the earliest of the genus to be 
described, #. obliqua, L’ Heritier, being the first species, 7.e., 
in 1788, although the identity of the plant was overlooked 
for many years. . 
There are but four species peculiar to Tasmania, viz. :— 
E. Risdoni, Hook. f. 
E. coccifera, Hook. f. 
E. urnigera, Hook. f. 
E. vernicosa, Hook. f. 
A continuance of the activity in regard to the genus 
that has taken place during the last few years may reduce 
the list still further; perhaps Tasmanian botanists will 
endeavour to increase it, and also the general list of 
Tasmanian species. 
The following table shows the list of Tasmanian 
Eucalypts recognised by Hooker, Spicer, Mueller, and my- 
self, arranged for comparison.
