RHODESIA. 
Notes on some species which have been tested at the Rhodes Estate, Matoppos, 
will l>e found in the Rhodesia Agric. Journ., vol. xv, p. 143 (April, 1918). 
As regards Southern Rhodesia, there are notes on E. saligna, E. teretlcornis and 
E. maculala var. citriodora; also references to literature concerning the acclimatisation 
of Eucalypts, in " Forestry in Southern Rhodesia," being a statement prepared for the 
British Empire Forestry Conference, London, July, 1920. 
TRANSVAAL. 
(See also Cape Reports.) 
There are important plantations belonging to the mining companies in the 
neighbourhood of Johannesburg and Pretoria, all planted within twelve years, " the 
trees ran from 15 to 40 feet high, the older portions supplying good pit wood, girthing 
from 12 to 18 inches, and from 20 to 25 feet long; these were merely thinnings." 
Ths predominant specie? planted were E. glabulus; E. elminalii, E. resiiniera, E. robuita, and 
E. diversicolor have also been tried. However, the two species which appaar to do best are E. alobnlus 
and E. viminalis, each attaining great size in a few years. For hardiness I think E. ciminali* is preferable 
. . . One thin" I specially observed, however, was that E. rimiflalis see.ned to be much hardier than 
E. globulin. 
In the winter of 1894 there were frequently 15 to 20 degrees of frost. The plantations worn all 
situated on elevations varying from -1,500 to 0.0)) feet above sea-level. (('has. 8. France, in Gui'l.

There are occasional articles in the South African journals on the cultivation 
pf Eucalypts, but it is somewhat disappointing that our most valuable species make 
but little progress in South Africa. This may be contributed to by various causes, 
e.g.- 
1. The revision of nomenclature and the general overhauling the genus has received 
during the last quarter of a century. 
2. The fact that planting is mostly in the vicinity of the mines on the Rand, which 
are at such an elevation that but few species flourish. 
3. Little systematic attempt has been made to co-ordinate the climatic zones of 
South Africa and Australia, with the view to a proper system of acclimatisation 
of species.
