Wales, December 6, 1922.] The Eucalyptus timbers which are by far the most import-ant group of the Australian hardwoods, are, in many cases,extremely difficult to determine with accuracy. Althoughthere is little in common between the open grained Moun-tain Ash type Eucalyptus Delegatensis, and theclose grained Boxes, E. hemiphloia, yet certain ofthese timbers fall into groups, which possessing similartexture, colour and weight, are very difficult to , though a timber such as Blackbutt, E. pilularis, isusually distinct from Spotted Gum, E. maculata, at timesthese timbers resemble each other to such an extent thatit is impossible to classify them with certainty, withoutinformation as to the nature of the bark or other morpho-logical characters.
