 and 5.000 gallons. One of them was a brewer's fermenting vat,

We have selected this series of plates as they give a very good summarj 

 oi the several methods employed in the production oi Eucalyptus oil in 

 Australia. In an undertaking of this character, where some hundreds of stills 

 oi one kind or another are in operation, it is to be expected that a con- 

 siderable diversity in general ideas will be evident, but we think the range oi 

 stills here illustrated is sufficiently comprehensive to cover the majority oi 

 those employed in the industry.
