E. maculata Hook. — Trees with, height 60 feet, diameter 24 inches, acquired 

 this in twenty years, and others with height 40 feet acquired a diameter of 10 inches 

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

 A spotted Gum in the Shoalhaven 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. E. Brown). 



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

 is a note on experiments in coppicing E. maculata and E. pilularis for about two and a 

 half years near Wyong, New South Wales. 



E. paniculata 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 

 growing 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, 1885, I measured certain Blackbutt saplings in the parish of Clybucca, county of 

 Dudley. These saplings 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, Kempsey.) 



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

 on the regrowth 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 " Eucalyptographia." 



E. rostrata Schlecht. — 



In suitable localities I estimate that the Murray River Eed 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 i 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.)
