Subject like Jarrah and many other Eucalypti to defects 

 due to kino veins. 



E. occidentals Flat-topped Yate. Timber hard, heavy 

 strong and durable. Uses fences, sleepers, posts, fuel ; also 

 wheelwright work. Height, 30 to 80 feet. 



E. pilularis Blackbutt. Also called Flintwood or Mount- 

 ain Ash. Timber strong, durable, thoroughly safe and well 

 tried. Uses House building, bridges, planking, paving, 

 etc. Prof. Maiden places this timber next to iron wood 

 (Eucalyptus sideroxylon) and tallow- wood for general pur- 

 poses. Next to Eucalyptus siderophloia it has endured a 

 greater crushing strain than any other Eucalypti. Color 

 generally pale or warm brown. Generally fissile, but occa- 

 sionally refractory in this respect. Height 100 to 150 feet. 

 Capt. Ward, R. E., found the deflection in a sample of 

 this timber to be 1.35 inches, the material used being 4 

 feet long by 2 inches square, loaded in the middle with a 

 weight of 980 pounds, while the elasticity remained unim- 

 paired, breaking under a weight of 1,232 pounds. Specific 

 gravity .990, (61 Ibs. 14 oz. per cubic foot). Requires care 

 in curing. 



E. polyanthema Red Box. Den tree. Great durability 

 is attributed to this wood. It is one of the most sought 

 for wheelwright work, cogs for wheels, supports in mines, 

 etc. One of the best fuels. It is very tough and hard.
