9. Other Eucalypts exude a watery liquid, not always drinkable. I saw a tree 
of Orange Gum (Eucalyptus Bancrofti Maiden) felled near Port Macquarie, and a large 
quantity of a sour, rusty-coloured liquid squirted out with considerable force. A watery 
liquid exudes from the " apple-tree " (Angophora intermedia DC.), and doubtless my 
readers can quote other instances. 
10. The Wandoo of Western Australia (Eucalyptus redunca Schauer, var. elata) 
gives out a watery liquid from the prominent tumours so common in this tree, when 
they are tapped by means of an axe. 
11. Speaking of the Salmon Gum (E. salmonophloia F.v.M.) in the Goomalling 
(an agricultural) district, Mr. Percy Murphy informs me, " Difficult to get without 
gum-veins. It sometimes has hollow spaces from which you may obtain a couple of 
buckets of water." It is, however, sound as a rule, and Goomalling is too far west for 
the species to attain its best development. These hollow spaces, filled with liquid, are 
of pathological origin.
