The influence of these trees from a hygienic point of view is discussed, with 
especial reference to their oil-yield, and he concludes his paper with the observation : 
" May we not say with some authority that the evidence set forth iu this paper on our 
own vegetation is in favour of the Eucalyptus being a fever-destroying tree ? " (This 
seems to be the first general claim of Eucalyptus to be a fever-destroying tree. Subse- 
quently the literature on the subject became enormous.) He proceeds, "Properly this 
(Mallee) scrub consists of three species the oleosa, the dumosa, and the socialis, but 
I have brought them under consideration as one, the oleosa (p. 15)." In the early days, 
before the Eucalypts were worked out as carefully as has been done of recent years, it 
was quite easy to mix species of Mallee, and E. oleosa was made to include a great deal.
