Material of this species was also collected at Nubeena, Tasman Peninsula, 

 in April, 1912. The oil agreed in general characters with those from the previous 

 consignments, only at this time of the year rather a large amount of phellandrene 

 was present, consequently the rotation to the left was higher; the cineol was 

 also slightly less in amount, but still exceeded 40 per cent, in the crude oil. 

 The yield of oil was i-i per cent. Specific gravity at 15 C. = 0-9045; rota- 

 tion a D -- 23-1; refractive index at 20 ; 1-4734, and was soluble in 8 volumes 

 70 per cent, alcohol. Below 193 C. 79 per cent, distilled. The cineol in this 

 portion was determined by the resorcinol method; the result was 44 per cent, 

 when calculated lor the crude oil. 



The results of this investigation were published by us in Proc. Roy. Soc., 

 Tasmania, October, 1912.
