Addendum, The following are the regulations in force in the various States 
in regard to Eucalyptus oil, for which I am very grateful to Mr. W. S. Brownscombe : 
NEW SOUTH WALES. 
Regulations under the Pure Food Act, 1903. 
Regulation 83, Eucalyptus Oil. 
(1.) Eucalyptus Oil prepared for internal use by man shall be the colourless or pale-yellow oil distilled 
from the leaves of various species of Eucalyptus, subsequently rectified, and possessing a characteristic 
aromatic odour and pungent cooling taste. Its specific gravity at a temperature of 60 degrees Fahr. 
shall be from 0-910 to 0-930. It shall contain not less than fifty parts per centum of eucalyptol (cineol) as 
determined by the phosphoric acid method described in the British Pharmacopoeia, 1914, pages 260 and 261 ; 
mixed with one-third of its volume of phosphoric acid of specific gravity 1-75, it shall quickly become 
semi-solid. It shall be soluble in three volumes of seventy per centum alcohol; and its refractive index 
at sixty degrees Fahr. shall be below 1-4800. 
LABELLING. 
(2.) There shall be written in the label attached to every package which contains eucalyptus oil, a state- 
ment in bold-faced sans-serif capital letters, of not less than six-point face measurement, of the composi- 
tion of the oil in the following form : 
This Eucalyptus Oil contains Phellandrene and (the words " phellandrene and " are to be omitted 
if phellandrene be not present) not less than (here insert the number of parts per centum) parts per cent, 
of Eucalyptol. 
Provided that this declaration shall not be required when the oil either 
(a) conforms to the British Pharmacopoeia standard, and is labelled accordingly ; or 
(6) has been distilled from one species of eucalyptus only, the name of which is written on the label 
in bold-faced sans-serif capital letters, of not less than six-point face measurement. 
(3.) In the label attached to every package containing ecualyptus oil intended for external use only, 
shall be written in bold-faced sans-serif capital letters, of not less than eight-point face measurement, and 
immediately following the words " Eucalyptus oil," the words " For external use only."
