These are Gold-fields (Kalgoorlie district) timbers, and I followed the wood- 

 choppers on the wood-lines for some days. I formed the opinion that most of the 

 timbers were of that bright brown colour known as cigar-brown. It may be, however, 

 that this colour represents a stage of oxidation or over-ripeness. 



E. CELASTROIDES TurCZ. 



Cigar-brown, " very hard, dense, splitting very straight " ; a spear wood. 



E. Clelandi Maiden. 

 Cigar-brown. 



E. corrugata Luehmann.

E. gracilis F.v.M. 



Deep cigar-brown, tough. (I am referring to the Western Australian form of 



this tree). 



E. Griffithsii Maiden. 

 Reddish brown. 



E. Le Souefi Maiden.

Here, again, the colour varies from red to reddish-brown, and we require more 

 information as to colours. The majority of these trees come from coastal localities, 

 but some are from the drier country.
