The following note, originally written for the Paris Exhibition of 1S55, is 
interesting :— 
Plentiful on the Clarence. This timber is extensively used for building purposes, such as scantling, 
battens, flooring-boards, and for posts and rails, ships’ planks, &c., it is often 7 feet in diameter, with a 
stem without knot or flaw of from 70 to 80 feet in length. Many trees yielded from 6,000 to 8,000 feet 
of timber, which is worth at the present time 18s. per 100 feet. (C. Moore.) 
Not far from the Euc. globulus Reserve I saw a tree of the species about 3 feet in diameter and height 
probably of 100 feet to first limb. I measured a short-stemmed tree at Cumbueri (my place) 27 feet in 
circumference. (A. R. Crawford, New England.) 
Habitat. —Confined to New South Wales and Queensland, and essentially a 
coastal and coastal-ranges tree. It does not extend further south, at least in work¬ 
able sizes, than Currawang, a few miles south of Nelli gen, on the Clyde River. I 
should he glad to hear from correspondents as to its extreme southern limit. North 
of this it is extensively diffused throughout the coastal districts of New South 
Wales, while it is fairly plentiful in Southern Queensland. 
The following data in regard to the distribution of the various woods ranked 
under Eucalyptus saligna has been supplied by the Eorest Department:—
