quality at such a low price, that the Australian manufacturers have 
been compelled to withdraw their competition. 
The demand has been confined within normal limits. Covered 
fully for a long period by a large contract, we are in a position to 
maintain the present low quotations. 
We also supph' an Australian oil of uncertain origin; this oil,, 
which contains phellandrene, is a very good value, and is now 
largelx' employ ed for medicinal soaps. 
Deane and Maiden have communicated^) some observations of a 
true botanical character on some species of eucal}'pts found in New 
South Wales. They have special reference to the following species: 
Eucalyptus stelliilata Sieb., Eucalyptus coriacea A. Cunn., Eucalyptus 
dives Schauer, Eucalyptus fastigiata D. and M., Eucalyptus obliqua 
I'Herit., Eucalyptus virgata Sieb. var. altior D. and M., Eucalyptus 
Muelleriaiia Howitt, Eucalyptus haejnastoma Sm., Eucalyptus Sieberiana, 
fasciculosa and Bosistoana F. v. M., EiLcalyptus cordata Labill. , Euca- 
lyptus longifolia Link, Eucalyptus goniocalyoc F. v. M., Eucalyptus (jiiad- 
rangulata D. and M., Eucalyptus resinifera var. grandifiora Benth., and 
var. Kirtoniana, Eucalyptus punctata D. C, Eucalyptus punctata var. 
grandifiora, Eucalyptus terniinalis F. v. M., Eucalyptus Gunnii Hook., 
Eucalyptus Gunnii var. glauca, var. acervula, and var. ovata, Eucalyptus 
viminalis Labill., Eucalyptus viniinalis var. pedicellaris, and var. Baeuerleni. 
The authors further mention^) a supposed bastard growth, which 
is said to have as parents Eucalyptus paniculata and Eucalyptus heini- 
phloia. In this connection the}' give a detailed description of a new 
species of eucal}q3tus. Eucalyptus Boormani, which appears to be most 
closel}' related to Eucalyptus drepanophylla, but is also connected with 
Eucalyptus afftnis and Eucalyptus Bosistoana. 
According to J. H. Maiden^), Eucalyptus obliqua I'Herit. occurs, 
under the name ''Stringybark", in Tasmania and South Australia, 
and less widely in Victoria, in company with other stringybarks and 
eucalypts with fibrous bark. This is the same species of eucalyptus 
which Hooker at the time has wrongly described in the Flora of 
Tasmania as Eucalyptus gigantea. 
The same author further reports^) on the presence in Victoria 
of Eucalyptus dives Schauer, i. e., the species which, rightly or wrongly, 
is supposed to be the one which in the distillation of Australian 
eucalyptus oil comes under consideration. The details of this treatise,
