the  drug  trade  and  state  and  federal  laboratories  seem  to  show  an 
increase  in  this  sort  of  manipulation  from  the  time  that  foreign 
drugs  became  scarce.

Vol.  Ill,  Parts  9  and  10,  and  Vol.  IV,  Part  i,  of  this  voluminous 
monograph  of  the  genus  Eucalyptus  have  now  come  to  hand.  The 
author  continues  to  treat  in  a  most  lucid  exposition  the  numerous 
species  of  this  genus  that  are  indigenous  to  Australia. 
Part  9  presents  descriptions,  distinctive  botanical  characters  and 
affinities,  territorial  range,  economic  uses,  etc.,  of  the  following 
species :  E.  Baeuerleni  F.v.M. ;  E.  scoparia  Maiden ;  E.  Benthami 
Maiden  and  Cambage ;  E.  propinqua  Deane  and  Maiden;  E.  punc- 
tata DC. ;  E.  Kirtoniana  F.v.M. 
Part  10  in  the  same  way  covers  the  following:  E.  resinifera  Sm. ; 
E.  pellita  F.  v.  M. ;  E.  brachyandra  F.  v.  M. 
Part  I  of  Vol.  IV  similarly  describes  E.  tereticornis  Smith ;  E. 
Bancrofti  Maiden,  E.  amplifolia  Naudin. 
The  lithographic  illustrations  are  quite  artistic  and  add  materially 
to  the  descriptions  and  are  hence  of  great  service  to  the  student  of 
this  interesting  group  of  plants  and  the  economic  products  obtained 
from  these. 
Mr.  Maiden's  work  on  this  genus  is  a  further  elaboration  and 
continuation  of  the  Eucalyptographia  of  his  predecessor  Baron  Ferd. 
v.  Mueller,  and  is  destined  to  be  a  masterpiece  of  monographing.
