that " u the action of Eucalyptus oils is generally considered due to antiseptic powers, it would neuin 
desirable not to exclude oils rich in phellandrene." Other workers have lately emphasised the absence of 
sri.-iitific support for the adoption of a cineol basis for Eucalyptus oil, and it seems eminently desirable that 
those responsible for the strictly therapeutical matters in connection with the current revision of I lie B P. 
should give close attention to the questions whether the more recent knowledge justijies a continuance 
of the present official requirement excluding oils containing " much phellandrene " ; and whether the 
history of oil of Eucalyptus and the investigations since the present B.P. was published, do not warrant 
a pharmacopoeia! stuns to distillates of the phellandrene-cineol class. (British and Colonial Druggist, 21st

Milkfl (Milne) recommends the external use of Eucalyptus oil as a prophylactic 
against scarlatina, and also as a remedy. See Schimmel, April, 1911, p. 73. J. Elgart

constancy in specific characters between identical specie*, whether growing in 
Australia or Tasmania, is again demonstrated.
