of eucalyptol, it is not recommended for that purpose, as so 
many oils are obtainable exceedingly rich in eucalyptol and 
also free from objectionable bodies. 
Of the thirteen specific oils examined by us this is the only one 
that so far has given a’solid camphor or stearoptene, and we 
believe it is the first solid camphor obtained from Eucalyptus 
oils. 
Specimens of this oil were distributed, accompanied with a 
request for a report on its rubefacient properties. We are pleased 
to state that in every instance where it has been so used the result 
has been highly satisfactory. Thorough investigation will be made 
as to the composition and properties of this camphor, and when 
completed the results will be submitted to this Society. We shall 
be glad to receive medical opinion as to the probable value of this 
oil for medicinal purposes. 
[Added 10th Nov. 1897.]|—We have since discovered that this 
body (Eudesmol) exists in large quantities in the oil obtained 
from the leaves of the “Red Stringy Bark” Eucalyptus macro- 
rhyncha, F.v.M. It can be readily separated from this oil and 
easily purified.
