E. niaculata Hook. — Trees witli hciglit 60 feet, diameter 24 inches, acquired 

 tliis in twenty years, and otliers with lieight 40 feet acquired a diameter of 10 inches 

 in ten years. They grow on tlie south coast of New South Wales (Forester J. S. Allan). 

 A spotted Gum in the Bhoalhaven district, New South Wales, in an old saw-pit not 

 used for seventeen years, was then 2 feet in diameter by 25 feet to first limb, and 45 feet 

 high; good soil, side of hill. (Forester G. R. Brown). 



In Annual Report of the Forestry Commission (up to 30th June, 1919), p. 27, 

 is a note on experiments in coppicing E. niaculata and E. ]nlularis for about two and a 

 half years near Wyong, New South Wales. 



E. ])aniculaia Sm. — A tree aged 10 years acquired a height of 40 feet, diameter 

 10 inches. South Coast (Forester J. S. Allan). 



E. pilularis Sm. — A self-sown seedling was measured at Gosford in 1889, on the 

 land which was cleared for a nursery site. In eighteen months it had attained a height 

 of 25 feet, and a circumference of 18 inches. (John McCoig.) In ten years, on the 

 South Coast, a tree acquired a height of 40 feet, diameter 10 inches (Forester J. S. Allan). 

 At Cogo, Wilson's River, in the old vineyard (twenty-five years neglected), are now 

 gro\ving Blackbutts, average 18 inches in diameter, 25 feet to first branch, and 50 feet 

 high. (Forester G. R. Brown, 1895.) A Blackbutt sapling seventeen years ago 12 inches 

 in diameter and 30 feet high, is now (1895) 2 feet 9 inches in diameter, and 40 feet to 

 first limb. 70 feet high. (Forester G. R. Brown, Port Macquarie.) 



In .January, 188.5, I measured certain Blackbutt saplings in the parish of Clybucca, county of 

 Dudley. These saphngs were then about 5 years old, and taped about 12 inches girth by a height of 10 

 feet from the measurements then taken. I find that the same saplings now (1895) average 36 inches 

 girth and a height of 40 feet. (Forester McDonald, Kcmpsey.) 



In Animal Report, Forestry Commission (up to 30th June, 1919), p. 27, is a note 

 on the legrowth in three years of two species {E. propinqua and E. saligna), on land 

 burnt over in the Wyong district, New South Wales. 



E. radiata Sieb. (under E. amygdalina Labill). See Mueller's '" Eucal}'ptographia." 



E. rostrata Schlecht. — 



In suitable localities I estimate that the Murray River Red Gum attains a height of about 50 to 60 

 feet in ten years, after which it does not grow so rapidly. It will attain a diameter of about 12 inches in 

 twelve years, then I estimate it increases at the rate of about | inch in a year until it gets to about 24 to 

 26 inches in diameter. (Inspecting Forester Manton, 1895.) 



E. saligna Sm. — 



About nine years ago land was cleared at Hogan's Brush, near Gosford. After the clearing, a Blue 

 Gum came up and was suffered to remain. Now it is 50 feet in height, and circumference of 3 feet 6 inches 

 at 4 feet from ground. Measured October, 1895. (Forester John Martin.) 



A Blue Gum five years ago was 3 inches in diameter and 15 feet high. It is now 

 (1895) 12 inches in diameter by 15 feet to first limb, and 35 feet high; red second-class 

 soil, in the open. (Forester G. R. Brown, Port Macquarie.)
