tail-races round Tumbemmba boarded with it to a depth of 3 feet, with 1J inch boards, exposed to all 
weathers, which have been in for years and look little the worse for wear, although every flood passes over 
them, as well as the friction from moving sand and water combined. (Forester Taylor, Wazga, 
21st September, 1892.) 
Its timber is quite distinct from the E. globvlus in colour and texture, and is mostly to be found 
full of gum veins and shells sadly in small sizes. It is dark yellow in colour, remarkably tough and 
interlocked, and very durable. In large sizes, such as squared piles and girders, it bears an excellen^ 
record, particularly in the Braidwood district. For building purposes it is only suitable in large sizes, 
such as beams, &c. ; in scantling sizes it warps and opens. When green it is easily worked, but when 
seasoned it is almost of the consistency of bone and stands exposure well. In round piles there are few 
timbers to equal it in durability. (J. V. de Coque.) 
Size. Up to 200 feet high, with diameter of 4 feet (average 2-4 feet). 
Range. It is at present only known from south-easterly New South Wales and 
eastern Victoria. Additional localities are required to more definitely establish its 
range. 
New Soiith Wales. It is found in the southern part of the county of Camden, 
the most northerly locality recorded being Box Point to Tallong, and additional search 
will prove it to be somewhat farther north than that. 
Going south it occurs in the counties of St. Vincent, Dampier, and Auckland, 
and so into Gippsland. It has not been recorded west of the counties named. In the 
counties of Wellesley and Wallace I fully expect to hear of this species, or E. globulus, 
or both of them, being found. 
The localities given by Mueller in the original description are : " In rich soil 
only on steep mountain slopes from the southern boundary (of New South Wales) as 
far north as the Braidwood and Nelligen districts " (W. Baeuerlen). 
Victoria. In this State it is confined to Gippsland, and we require further 
ollecting to absolutely determine its range. 
For details as to specific localities in both States, see my " Critical Kevision 
of the Genus Eucalyptus," Part XVIII, pp. 257, 258. 
Propagation. I have been honorary purchaser of seeds of Australian native 
trees to the various South African Governments, and, since the Union, to the Union 
of South Africa, for the last twenty-five years. The present species seems to satisfy 
the requirements of our South African friends in an especial degree, for, during recent 
years far more seed of it has been supplied than of any other two species. 
Forester Taylor, of Wagga, wrote in 1892 : " It is a very fast grower, and will 
adapt itself to almost any climate so long as the situation is moist, and not too much 
exposed to the wind. It is not suitable for granite ridges, in hot, dry situations."
