whilst Messrs. Deane and Maiden (loc. cit.) have still further 

 advanced our knowledge of this " Stringybark." 



The timber is not so dense as that of either the " White " or 

 " Brown Stringybark," and is inferior in durability to both, and 

 the remarks appearing under it in the Botany of Rylstone, 1 were 

 intended to apply to E. eugenioides and were placed there in error. 



Habitat — As we now regard this Eucalyptus as probably the 

 most important commercial tree of the whole genus, we give the 

 following specific localities rather than state its general range. 

 Orange district, Mudgee (and other places in the same district, 

 viz : — Widdin Ranges, Mt. Corricudgee, Kelgoola, Rylstone, and 

 Ilford), Marulan district, and Bungendore, where it is so plentiful 

 within three miles of the railway station that a supply could be 

 obtained for years to come.

 " Brown Stringybark." 



It is rarely called " Red Stringybark," and we should prefer to 

 reserve this name for the previous species. In addition to the. 

 above references the descriptions of this species also have been quite 

 recently amplified by Messrs. Deane and Maiden (loc. cit.) so that 

 there is little more to be said concerning it except that our 

 researches confirm its affinity with E. eugenioides as shown by a 

 gradation of varietal forms mentioned by one of us in the Rylstone 

 Botany. 2 In botanical sequence we place it between E. macro- 

 rliyncha and E. eugenioides. 



The timber is very dense and no doubt very durable, but very 

 little data has been published concerning it. 



Habitat — Coast district and Dividing Range.

 " White Stringybark." 



The remarks under previous species apply also to this one, as 

 the two are very closely allied.
