who depict Eucalypts as they see them, and who do not attempt to produce 
results which the botanical student knows to be impossible. 
HOW TO FURTHER THE STUDY OF BOTANY. 
I hope that the morphological (minute and other) characters that I have 
brought under notice, will be found to include subjects of investigation for students 
in Universities, Technical Colleges, Schools, etc., and other workers for a long time 
to come. I have given frequent references, not only to elucidate or confirm state¬ 
ments, but also because I think they will he useful to teachers and students for the 
purpose just stated. 
Of one thing I am certain, that a proper study of Eucalyptus must begin with 
the rising generation. I believe that, in the near future, children will be taught 
more of the wonders of the bush than hitherto, and to accomplish that end, photo¬ 
graphs of typical trees and reproductions of selections from the beautiful draw¬ 
ings of Miss M. Flockton will be found in every school throughout the Common¬ 
wealth. These should be coloured wherever possible, for colour is a great help to 
the minds of children, and, indeed, of older people.
