1895.— In my " Notes on the Commercial Timbers of New South Wales " (first 

 edition, 1895), at page 6, was submitted a classification (I give only the Eucalypts) of — 



1. Ironbarks. 



2. Pale Hardwoods. 



3. Red Hardwoods. 



1. Ironbarks of various kinds. 



A table was given comparing — 



E. paniculata (White or She Ironbark). 

 E. crebra (Narrow-leaved Ironbark). 

 E. siderophloia (Broad-leaved Ironbark). 

 E. sideroxylon (Red Ironbark). 



2. Pale Hardwoods — 



(a) Blackbutt (E. pilularis). 



(b) White Mahogany (E. acmenioidcs). 



(c) Tallow-wood {E. microccrys). 



(d) Spotted Gum (E. maculata). 



(e) Grey Eox (E hemiphloia). 



3. Red Hardwoods — 



(a) Red Mahogany (E. resinijera). 



(b) Grey Gum (E. propinqna).

(d) Forest Red Gum (E. tereticornis).

1896.— "New South Wales, the Mother Colony of the Australias," seep. 186. 

 In my article on the Timbers of New South Wales in the same work, at p. 171, I divide 

 the Eucalypts into " Ironbarks " ; after these a convenient practical classification of 

 our hardwoods is into " Pale Hardwoods," " Red Hardwoods " (both these comprising 

 the commercial or best hardwoods of the colony) and the inferior or doubtful hardwoods 

 (for lists consult paper). 



1901. — In "The Forests, of New South Wales," a lecture delivered before the 

 Royal Society of New South Wales, and reported in the Agricultural Gazette of New 

 South Wales for July, 1901, 1 propose the classification — Ironbarks, Boxes, Stringybarks a 

 Pale Hardwoods, Red Hardwoods.
