" Hickory it is always called in New England. I have stripped trees over 

 2 feet in diameter, and 50 feet of bark, and weighing over 8 cwt. It also 

 grows on the main Liverpool Range. The trees from which we get the bark 

 grow mostly on spurs off the main range both east and west. I have seen 

 the same kind of bark used in Bathurst, and which I was told was got from 

 towards Mudgee. We have been using the bark twenty-three years, and 

 like it for dressing leather better than any other. As I told you, the tree 

 blossoms early in November. W. J. Smith (The Tannery, Tamworth, 1890)-. 



" The Broad-leaved Hickory grows all over this (Glen limes) and Tcn- 

 terfield districts, but very scattered with few exceptions, those being princi- 

 pally on Pastoral Holdings Rivertree, Koreelah, Oakwood, Morveii, and 

 Sandy Hills. Although it is stripped when it is in full blossom, it retains 

 enough sap in the limbs for the seeds to properly ripen" (Forester Powell).
