22 EUCALYPTS CULTIVATED IN THE UNITED STATES. 
The late Charles Naudin, director of the botanical laboratory at La 
Villa Thuret, Antibes, was the author of two works on the Eucalypts, 
the first, published in 1883, entitled The Eucalyptus introduced into 
the Mediterranean Region;” the second published in 1891, entitled 
Description and Use of Eucalyptus introduced in Europe. Besides 
a discussion of the general characteristics of Eucalypts, they contain 
descriptions of the species grown about the Mediterranean, 56 in num- 
ber, of which 13 were established by Naudin himself as a result of his 
cultural tests and his observations on the growth of Eucalypts in his 
region. 
The most extended general treatise on Eucalypts in the French 
language is Les Eucalyptus, by Felix Sahut, of Montpelier. It 
contains a discussion of this genus, principally with reference to its 
geographical distribution, together with a history of its discovery; 
and also gives descriptions of its forest, industrial, sanitary, and 
medicinal adaptabilities, with suggestions regarding its culture. 
Of the many other French writers on the Eucalypts, the following 
have treated of their culture in France: Ramel, Raveret-Watel, Plan- 
chon, Nardy, Certeux, Joly, and Combes; of their culture in Algeria, 
Lambert, Cordier, Bertheraud, and Trottier; in the island of Corsica, 
Carlotti. 
AMERICAN. 
A few publications treating of the Eucalypts have appeared on the 
Pacific coast. The first, a compilation by Hon. Ellwood Cooper, was 
published in 1876. The work consisted of a popular lecture (previ- 
ously mentioned) on ‘‘ Forest Culture and Australian Gum Trees,” 
by Mr. Cooper; two lectures of a similar character by Baron von 
Mueller; a paper by the latter upon ‘* Australian Vegetation,” and 
descriptions of species of Eucalypts copied from the writings of Baron 
von Mueller and from a seed catalogue. 
The most extensive American work on the genus appeared in 1895— 
an illustrated volume of 300 pages, from the pen of Hon. Abbot Kin- 
ney and the press of B. R. Baumgardt & Co., Los Angeles. This 
important work treats the Eucalypts from the esthetic, the botanical, 
and the utilitarian standpoints. An unfortunate lack of system 
detracts from the usefulness of the book; but it is a mine of valuable 
information and suggestions. Each species that was known by Mr. 
Kinney to be growing in California is discussed. The work also con- 
tains directions for planting and caring for Eucalypts; the results of 
cultural tests of a large number of species, and the results of the dis- 
tillation of the oil from 26 species; several papers by other writers 
upon the medicinal and chemical phases of the subject; and many useful 
tables and other matter from Baron von Mueller’s great work. Most
