to artisans than its apparent quality would seem to merit. It 
exhibits a clear grain of a red colour, and is well adapted for 
many useful purposes in the mechanical arts. ( Jurors' Report , 
1866.) Timber subject to kino veins, but the sound timber 
durable, and principally used for posts and beams. (Moore.) 
The kino from this species is obtainable in rather large quantities. 
In experiments conducted at the Melbourne Phytochemical 
Laboratory, the bark yielded tannic acid 2*7 per cent., and gallic 
acid 0-8 per cent. It is also available for paper material. 
81 . Eucalyptus dumosa, Cunningham. 
One of the principal bushes or small trees constituting the 
Mallee scrub on the Murray River and its tributaries. May be 
regarded as a variety of E. incrassata . 
82 . Eucalyptus fasciculosa, F. v. Mueller . 
(. E . paniculate i, Sm. var. fasciculosa, Benth., EL Aust.) 
(Sect. Schizophloice.) 
In the Mallee scrub. In New South Wales, E. pamculata , of 
which this, according to Rentliam, would appear to be a variety, 
is a moderate-sized tree, known as one of the white Iron barks. 
( Woolls.) Timber strong and very durable. (Sir Win. Macarthur, 
Moore.) 
83 . Eucalyptus globulus, Labillardidre. 
THE VICTORIAN AND TASMANIAN BLUE- 
GUM. (Sect. Leiophloice.) 
Is confined to forest valleys except near the coast. It extends 
often in masses from the vicinity of Cape Otway through moist 
ranges to Western Port, various parts of Gippsland, Mount Bullet* 
and the Buffalo Ranges, but scarcely passing into New South 
Wales. It grows to colossal size, in deep declivities of ranges ; 
supplies a hard light-coloured timber of great strength and 
tenacity as well as durability, extensively used tor beams, joists, 
&c., in buildings, and for railway sleepers, piers, and bridges. 
It is also well adapted for ship-building. From the great length 
in which it can always be procuied it is especially suitable for 
outside planking. It lias been used lor masts of vessels, but, 
owing to its great weight, it is not so suitable as some other 
kinds of timber for the latter purpose. It is also used for 
shafts. (Jurors 1 Repot t , 1866.) The specific gravity of the 
timber has been found 0*698 to 0*889. The kino of the tree is
