Condemns the planting of Eucalyptus in the Campagna. 
At p. 1 42 he says : "The Eucalyptus planted round our railway stations are now proved to be useless 
against malaria, if even they do not do more harm than good by harbouring the mosquitoes near the houses. 
Here, outside the gates of the city, at Tre Fontano, an intensely malarious spot, there is a fine wood of them, 
and in Australia there are enormous forests of these trees, and all are malarious." 
And again he says, at page 234: " That the planting of woods is not a protection against malaria 
has been demonstrated by the example already recorded of the Tre Fontane, where, in spite of the Eucalyptus 
wood which has grown vigorously, this disease still remains."

Eucalyptus at Rome. The best all-round species is stated to be E. resinifera; 
" it is much to be preferred to E. globulus, or to any other." It grows slowly, although 
E. globulus makes a great show and promises wonders. (Gardeners' Chronicle, 7th 
January, 1899, p. 1.)
