In the present work, Part I, p. 5, 1 have the following note : 
"Mr. R. D. Hay informs me that in the Dorrigo the Carabeen (Sloanea Woollsii F.v.M.) is disliked 
by the sawmillers, because of a deposit (known locally as " flint ") in the log, near the heart, which injures 
the saw. This deposit resembles lime in appearance, is clipped by a knife with difficulty, and has not yet 
been subjected to chemical analysis." 
I received the specimen from Mr. District Forester Wilshire, of Grafton, in 
September, 1904, and it has been mislaid. In the above note it is attributed to Sloanea 
Woollsii F.v.M., the Yellow Carabeen, and as Mr. Wilshire's note which I have recently 
seen, says, " Deposit from the Red Carabeen," it is possible, that the reference is to the 
timber of Weinmannia Benthamii. It is desirable that Red Carabeen logs and trees 
should be searched for more of this deposit which may (speaking from memory) be 
siliceous. 
Size. It is a medium or large-sized tree, say in height 50 to 60 feet, and with 
a diameter of 18 to 24 inches. 
Habitat. The type came from Forests on the Hastings and Richmond Rivers 
(Moore, Carron). 
Mr. Moore's original note is : 
; ' This tree attains a large size and is general in thick forests in the cor.st districts 
lying between the Manning and Bellinger Rivers. Abundant at Camdcn Haven." 
It was collected by one of the Botanic Gardens Collectors specially sent out 
(1862-4) to collect material for the Flora Australiensis, then in preparation. 
Port Macquarie (G. R. Brown) ; Dorrigo, " Red Carabeen " (Ralph Lowe). 
" Large " trees of 20-30 feet, growing in rich undulating country. Such plants 
as Wistaria megasperma and Araucaria Cunninghamii grow near it. Bellingen and 
CofFs Harbour (J. L. Boorman). 
Coff's Harbour to Grafton ( J.H.M. and J. L. Boorman) ; " Red Carabeen," 
Lismore (Forest Guard); " Caramben " (new spelling to me), "Leather Jacket," 
Alstonville. Large trees, 80-100 feet high, 2-4 feet diameter ( W. Baeuerlcn) ; Tintenbar. 
60-80 feet high, 1-3 feet diameter (W. Bauerlen); Murwillumbah (R. A. Campbell). 
It therefore occurs northward from the Manning to the Tweed in New South 
Wales. It has been collected in Queensland, near the Tweed.
