Mr. Cambage pointed out to me that there is india-rubber in Angophora 
lanceolata leaves, which I confirmed. It is common enough in the closely-related 
“ Corymbosse ” section of the genus Eucalyptus. 
Size. —See vol. ii, p. 18. 
Mr. Boorman and I measured, on Milson Island, Ilawkesbury River, a tree 
13 feet 6 inches in circumference at 4 feet from the ground. 
Habitat. —See vol. ii, p. 18. 
The locality, “Lower Lachlan,” has not been confirmed. Does anyone 
confirm it ? 
Mr. Forest Guard W. Dunn records it from the highlands between Acacia 
Creek and Wilson’s Downfall. 
ILLUSTRATION. 
The photo, was taken by Mr. W. Forsyth at the National Park, Sydney. The dark stain on 
the trunk is a flow of kino.

Eucalyptus corymbosa , Sm. 
THE BLOOD WOOD. 
(Natural Order Myrtacea:.) 
Aboriginal Names.— See vol. ii, p. 21. 
The aboriginal name given me by an aboriginal woman for this tree is “Cooloul” or “ Coolool,’’ at 
Ulladulla.—(R. H. Cambage.) 
Fruits. —See vol. ii, p. 24. 
Seeds of this species from the Port Jackson district are plump, with solid 
augles, and with little or no wing. As one proceeds northwards the seeds flatten 
and become more winged. By the time Rockhampton, Queensland, is reached, the 
seeds are very flat, and resemble Casuarina seeds. The timbers are red, and appear 
to be like that of the common bloodwood in each case. Eucalyptus seeds are 
worthy of fuller investigation. 
Timber. —See vol. ii, p. 25. 
Again, there is the bloodwood of this district, in my opinion equal to ironbark for railway- 
sleepers. I have asked the Commissioners to give it a trial alongside ironbark, and see which had longest 
life. They refuse, but do not say why. I have had it in the ground over twenty years, and still good 
Ironbark is getting scarce, and the bloodwood of this district is a good substitute. 1 have taken great 
interest in the timbers of this and the Clarence district for the last twenty-five years, so am not writing 
about what I do not understand. 
There is no doubt our timber should be a better asset for New South Wales than it is. The waste 
at the present time is enormous, and, to a very large extent could be remedied if competent men had the 
looking after our forests.—(W. T. Pullen, Woolgoolga.) 
Habitat. —See vol. ii, p. 2G. 
It seems to always grow on sedimentary formation.—(R. II. Cambage.1
