for the cogs of heavy wheels. It is also valuable for many pur- 
poses in ship-building, and constitutes one of the most imperish- 
able of our timbers. ( Jurors' Report , 1866.) Specific gravity, 
1106 and 1*024; and yielded — charcoal, 28 per cent.; crude 
wood vinegar, 45 per cent.; and tar, 6 per cent. Kino is also 
largely available from this species. The bark is capable of being 
converted into a coarse paper ; 100 lbs. of leaves gave 
16 ozs. 7 drs. of essential oil. Weight of a cubic foot of dry 
wood, from 63 \ to 68^ lbs. (Baron von Mueller.) This tree is 
rich in kino. 
91. Eucalyptus longit'olia, Link and Otto. 
THE WOOLLYBTTTT-TREE. (Sect. UemijMom). 
Occurs in the E. portion of G-ippsland. A tall, stately tree. 
Bark rough, fibrous, persistent, or partially deciduous. (F. 
Mueller.) Somewhat smooth, or fibrous and wrinkled, according 
to the size of the tree. (Woolls.) This timber bears a high 
character for durability when used for fencing purposes. For 
posts, it is said to stand undecayed in the ground for twenty 
years. The wood is esteemed an excellent fuel. It is sometimes 
split for fencing and rough carpenters' work. A beautiful solid 
wood, yet easily worked and well adapted. for furniture. {Jurors 
Report , 1866.) The Woollybutt, grown at Illawarra, is in very 
high repute for wheelwrights’ work. (Sir W. Macarthur ) The 
fibre of the bark is adapted for packing paper. Specific gravity 
of wood, 1*187. The yield of essential oil from 100 lbs. of 
leaves, which had suffered in transit, was 3 ozs. 3-J drs. Weight 
of a cubic foot of dried wood, about 68J lbs. 
92. Eucalyptus macrorrhyneha, F. v. Mueller. 
The ordinary Victorian STRINGYB ARK-TREE. 
In dry ranges at lower elevations than the usually taller Mess- 
mate Stringybark. The wood is hard, and easily split into 
shingles, palings, and rails, and much sawn into weatherboards 
and scantlings for rough building purpoes. The bark is more 
lasting than that of E. obliqiia for roofing. (F. v. M.) 
93. Eucalyptus melliodora, Cunningham. 
YELLOW-BOX. {Sect. Ilemiphloim.) 
Especially in theS.E. and E. ranges of the colony on low open 
ridges, particularly of the miocene formation. Yields a valuable 
timber of a light colour and greasy nature, remarkable for the
