A very useful pamphlet has been lately published, describing the economic woods of Victoria. Ib was compiled by Mr. C. Newborg, of the Museum, and is published by Messrs. Ferguson and Mitchell, of Melbourne. The following notice of the pamphlet is clipped from the Australasian : —The catalogue includes better known local names of the principal kinds of timbor trees, as well as their scientific names. For convenience of reference the species have been arranged in alphabetical order. In the genus eucalyptus the position of each species in the cortical system of Baron Von Mueller is in most cases indicated. The original catalogue was carefully revised by Baron Von Mueller, and in compiling the present edition advantage has been taken of the information contained in "The.Useful Native Plants of Australia," by 0. H. Maiden. As new editions will be issued from time to time, the hope is expressed that persons possessing information relating to the trees of Victoria will forward the same to the Museum, alone with specimens of the timber. All the different woods already collected and articles made from them are on view. at the Industrial and Technological Museum, Melbourne. Nob the least valuable part of this interesting little book is a series of tabulated experiments made for testing, the breaking strength and other particulars of Australian timbers. In view of the greater interest that is now being taken in Australian timbers for the export trade, the information given in this pamphlet will no doubt prove extremely useful to many who are unacquainted with the economic value of the various woods of Victoria.
