At Mil on Carrie, Cardinal Lavigerio and the White Fathers, as well as MM. Sauliere, Cordier, 
Tr >ttii>r an 1 ot'icra, sowed and planted, the first large, the last small, groves of Eucalypti, with a marked 
improvement, on tlie health of the community, which, however, still remains far from good. 
ThtMp enterprises were rapidly followed by many others, and now most Algerian villages, especially 
if in malaria] districts, have more or less extensive groves or avenues of Eucalypti, and many farms are also 
well provided with these trees.

SPAIN. 
" Experiments followed in Spain, where the Eucalyptus was introduced in 1860 
by the Society of Acclimatisation, and flourished in the provinces of Cadiz, Seville, 
Cordova. Valencia, and Barcelona." (Planchon.) 
According to a report made by Herbert W. Bowen, American Consul at Barcelona 
in 1894, Eucalypts were introduced into Spain in 1865, when E. qlobulus became known 
a 1 ? the " fever tree," because it is believed to purify boggy and aqueous regions that 
engender fevers. (McClatchie.) 
" E. globulus is the favourite species in Spain, where it thrives in humid soil, 
but not in humid air; E. resinifera is found to resist the wind remarkably well, and to 
accommodate itself to every soil; E. urnigera is suited to the mountainous districts and 
to low temperatures; E. Gunnii and E. coriacea are indifferent to cold;- E. marginal 
is rather sensitive ; E. amygdalina grows best in sandy soil ; E. fissilis (E. regnans) 
prospers in poor soil; E. odorata thrives in dry soil." (Novisima Guia del Hortelano, 
Jardinero y Arbolista, quoted in Gardeners' Chronicle, llth March, 1899, p. 146.) 
PORTUGAL AND GREECE. 
In Portugal and Greece Eucalypts are grown successfully, but have not yet been 
planted on so extensive a scale as in other parts of southern Europe (McClatchie).

Senor J. Henriques, Professor of Botany in the University of Coimbra, has 
interested himself in the acclimatisation of the genus in Portugal in recent years. 
ITALY. 
Although these references to the cultivation of Eucalyptus in Italy are 
chiefly in regard to Italian authors, other writers, particularly French, deal with 
Italian experience. The most sensational Italian Eucalyptus planting was on the 
malarial Campagna, near Rome, and it was only of comparatively recent years that, 
the origin of malaria being understood, scientific methods of combating it (the planting 
of rapidly-growing trees like Eucalyptus being only an aid) could be adopted.
