134         Fair  Forestry  outside  of  the  United  States.  { AmMX,  mfm' 
Two  of  the  small  ones  will  be  considered  now  and  the  third 
later  on. 
Under  Class  of  Dyes  and  Tans,  there  were  3  large  collections  and 
strange  to  say  all  the  Tans  were  from  genus  Acacia,  two  (2)  of  Wattle 
Bark  (Acacia  decurrens)  and  one  (1)  of  Hickory  (Acacia  penninervis). 
The  Wattle  of  Raymond  &  Co.  analyzed  35  75  per  cent.  Tannin 
and  39- 5  per  cent,  extract. 
The  space  allotted  Australia  was  neatly  enclosed  by  a  sort  of 
stockade  effect  in  planks,  nine  (9)  feet  high  and  two  (2)  to  three  (3) 
feet  wide,  polished  to  half  their  length  or  more  and  labelled  in  ver- 
nacular. The  classes  of  Logs,  worked  Timber,  and  ornamental 
Woods,  will  be  considered  together,  as  the  best  work  of  the  Direc- 
tor-General of  Forestry  was  with  these  three  (3)  classes. 
They  consisted  of  various  sized  specimens  sufficient  to  show  best 
characters  of  them  from  the  boards  forming  the  outer  wall  of  the 
exhibit,  to  herbarium  size  of  wood  and  bark,  12  x  18  in.  Chief  of 
the  large  timbers  were  the  Mangrove  (Avicennia  officinalis),  Swamp 
Oak(Casuarina  glauca),  Forest  Oak  (Casuarina  torulosa),  Red  Cedar 
(Cedrela  australis),  Rose  Wood  (Dysoxylon  Fraserianurn),  and  9 
species  of  Eucalyptus,  E.  botryoides,  Bastard  Mahogany,  E.  crebra, 
Gray  Iron  Bark ;  E.  longifolia,  Woolly-butt ;  E.  macrorrhyncha, 
stringy-bark  ;  E.  microcorys,  Tallowood  ;  E.  pilularis,  Black  butt ;  E. 
paniculata  ;  She  or  Pale  Iron  Bark ;  E.  poprulifolia,  Red  box,  and  E. 
resinifera,  Forest  Mahogany. 
Also  these  indigenous  trees,  nine  (9)  species  of  Acacia  of  which 
decurvens  is  the  most  valuable  for  tanning  purposes,  as  it  yields  from 
2  5  to  35  Per  cent,  tannin  and  is  known  there  as  Green  Wattle. 
Acacia  peunerius  known  as  Hickory,  and  Acacia  salicina  as 
native  willow,  Apple  Tree,  angophora  intermedia,  Black  Oak  as 
casuarina  suberosa,  Sycamore,  Cryptocorya  obovata,  Sassafras, 
Doryphora  sassafras,  White  Tea  Tree  Melaleuca  leucadendron,  and 
18  species  Eucalyptus. 
Of  the  Herbarium  sizes  there  were  105,  showing  bark  on  one 
side  and  wood  on  the  other,  and  included  17  species  Acacia,  5 
Casuarina  or  so-called  oaks,  19  Eucalyptus,  6  Melaleuca  and  the 
remainder  in  genera  not  specially  interesting. 
Eighty  (80)  species,  showing  Seeds  and  Seed  vessels  from  the  fol- 
lowing and  others:  10  Acacias,  5  Casuarinas  and  26  Eucalyptus, 
107  Barks,  principally  Acacias  and  Eucalyptus,  27  of  the  latter  were 
noted  and   5  of  former,  Mallotus  phillipinensis,  Duboisia  myopo-
