May, 1895). Also Chem. and Drugg. of same date, p. 620. 
He draws attention to the fact that Eucalyptus oil obtained from various species 
and possessing different composition and therapeutic properties is imported into 
Britain, and that until we arrive at more definiteness in regard to it, it is undesirable 
to recommend the oil of any particular species into a new Pharmacopoeia, or to frame 
any sufficiently comprehensive characters and tests. Yet he and Hill recommended 
to the General Medical Council the exclusion of oils containing Phellandrene (see W. J. 
Brownscombe in Chem. and Drugg., Ixxvi, 669, 1910).
