This bark is also otherwise interesting, for it shows that the oleo-resin 

 cavities are of lysigenous origin, as the gradual compression of the juxtaposition 

 cells to permit of the intrusion of the cavity, can be traced in the section, Figure 59. 



The structure of this bark otherwise conforms to that of its congeners. 



Figures 58 and 59 give transverse sections at the line of intersection of 

 inner and outer cortex. The large empty resin cavities can be seen to be thickly 

 scattered throughout the cortex, whilst another feature illustrated is, that the 

 ba-^t cells have in section their long axes racHal toward the outer cortex and 

 tangential in the inner bark. 



(e) Chemistry. 



This sample was taken from a log collected at Shuttleton, New South 

 Wales, in 1903. It was 11 inches in diameter, which is rather an unusual size for 

 trees of this species. The bark was grey to brown externally, fibrous and fissured; 

 its greatest thickness was 10 mm. In section the cells containing the dry resin are 

 larger and more numerous than is generalh' found in these barks. 



The following results were obtained with the air-dried bark: - 

 Moisture 11 -6 per cent. 



Total extract 13-6 ,, 



Xon-tannin 5-2 „ 



Tannin 8-4 „

Remarks. 



Chiefly confined to the Mallee Districts of this part of New 

 South Wales, extending west and a west-south-west direction 

 to the Murray and Darling, and across the latter river into 

 Mallee country of N.W. \'ictoria. It covers thousands of acres 

 in this area 



Timber. — In the scrub, the pines grow from 12 to 15 feet 

 high; where trees are isolated they grow from 20 to 30 feet 

 high, and from 2 to 3 feet in diameter. 



Resin. — The pines in this locality exude large quantities 

 of resin, this sjiecies being most jirofuse in its yield.
