rotation a D + 24*4° , and refractive index 1*4667. It con- 

 sisted almost entirely of pinene, but eucalyptol was more 

 pronounced in this oil, evidently due to the time of year 

 when the material was collected. This is evidently the 

 best species of Eucalyptus from which to obtain the sesqui- 

 terpene to enable its chemistry to be determined. 



Kino. — The kino or astringent exudations of both the 

 Armidale and Uralla trees were collected from the logs. 

 Both gave identical reactions. It is friable, gives a green 

 coloration with ferric chloride, and contains eudesmin, 

 characters quite distinct from the kinos of the true 

 " Peppermints." 



Eucalyptus campanulata, sp. no v. 

 "Bastard Stringybark." 



An average forest tree. Bark decidedly stringy, per- 

 sistent on the main trunk, branches smooth. 



" Sucker " or abnormal leaves broadly lanceolate, oblique 

 not shining, same colour on both sides, often over 9 inches 

 long, venation well marked, lateral veins oblique, distant 

 intramarginal vein well removed from the edge. Petiole 

 over 1 inch long. Normal leaves comparatively small, 

 lanceolate, oblique, subcoriaceous, not shining. Venation 

 not at all well marked on the smaller upper leaves, but 

 distinctly so in the others. Lateral veins very oblique. 



Buds, elevate or club shaped, the operculum domed. 



Fruits: At the earliest stage of development campanulate 

 on a slender pedicel, a feature not noticed in other species 

 by us. Mature fruits pyriform, rim truncate or slightly 

 countersunk, about 6 mm. diameter at the rim. 



Bark " stringy " as implied in its common name. 



Timber, light coloured or whitish, fissile, but close 

 grained, easy working, in fact, similar in general cliarac-
