The Chemistry and the Chemical Exploitation op Western 103 
Australian Plants. 
Lntil such provisions are made, our chemical knowledge of Western Aus- 
tralian flora must wait on such progress as can be made from our existing 
institutions, or on the activities of private firms which are naturally in- 
terested only in those plants which offer some prospect of immediate profit- 
able exploitation. 
In conclusion I should like to express my great appreciation and 
indebtedness to Mr. C. A. Gardner for the generous assistance he has given 
in establishing the names of the species mentioned in this address.
