 ADVANTAGES OF NEW SOUTH WALES AS A HOME 
 FOR THE EMIGRANT. 
 
 1. There is ready employment for all classes of laborers and 
 artisans, at much higher wages than are given to the same classes 
 of labor in England. In most of the trades the working day is 
 limited to eight hours. 
 
 2. The cost of living for the masses of the people is cheaper 
 here than in Europe or America. The labouring classes through- 
 out the Colony live as comfortably as the middle classes in Europe. 
 
 3. Capital intelligently directed finds ready investment, either 
 in trade, agriculture, mining, or the public stock, at higher rates 
 than in Europe, and with good security. 
 
 4. There is an area of nearly 200,000,000 acres of public lands, 
 two-thirds of which are occupied by the squatters on short leases, 
 but all of which, with the exception of proper public reserves, 
 are open to the emigrant to select from, wherever he pleases, and 
 on terms within reach of the poorest ; and a certain road to 
 competency, if he be healthy, prudent, and industrious. 
 
 5. The soil and climate are adapted to a great variety of produce, 
 at a moderate expenditure of labour and capital ; and, cultivated 
 with the ordinary skill, will yield excellent returns. 
 
 6. Our mineral resources can be surpassed by few other 
 countries. The gold deposits are spread over a large area, and 
 have proved as rich as anything hitherto known in the history of 
 mining. The coal deposits are practically inexhaustible, and iron, 
 lead, copper, tin, kerosene shale, and other mineral treasures 
 abound. 
 
 7. For merchants and tradesmenno fairer field than Sydney could 
 be presented. With its position on the eastern seaboard, with 
 the Southern Islands, San FranciscOj and the whole American 
 Continent, right opposite, with a harbour for shipping unrivalled 
 in the World, and a vast trade already established, it cannot fail 
 to secure the chief share of the commerce of the Pacific. 
 
 8. No finer climate can be desired, combining in its variety 
 the mild warmth of the coast, the invigorating air of the mountains, 
 and the dry atmosphere of the interior. 
 
 9. All the chief districts are easy of access by river, road, or 
 railway, and the rates of traffic are low. 
 
 10. All this may be enjoyed among a people whose whole social 
 life is so like Home that it is scarcely possible for the emigrant to 
 feel like " a stranger in a strange land." The language, customs, 
 habits, laws, literature, education, religion, are all thoroughly 
 English ; life and property secure ; and government free. 
 
 11. Every immigrant, if sober, healthy, and industrious, is 
 wealth to the Colony, and is made welcome at once never 
 received with jealousy and suspicion. 
 
 The steamships of the Pacific Mail Company run between San Francisco and 
 Sydney monthly, and there are always steamships and sailing-vessels on the 
 berth at London,

 * " Mud Wells" in the great Namoi scrub These appear to be circular quicksands, diameter about 
 9/eet, depth over 30 feet, but not fathomed. The material is of the consistency of cement mixed for groutinar, 
 and is of a blue colour. The surface is invariably covered with a crust of fine gravel about 1 inch thick. 
 They are always met with on the small circular plains (open) found here and there in the scrub, and these 
 plains are more or less covered (some completely) with carb. of soda to a depth of about 1 inch, presenting 
 the appearance of snow.

 present is only partially opened, and shows from 3 to 7 inches of ore, assaying about 72 
 per cent, of pure tin. Alluvial ore also exists, at depths varying from 10 to 20 feet from 
 the surface, in a gravel wash of from 1 to 3 feet in thickness. 
 
 The ore branded " The Butchart" is from a property of about 200 acres, situated on the 
 mountain ranges in the vicinity of Cope's Creek, in the district of New England. 
 
 Upon this property is a reef averaging about G inches. It has been epcned to about 30 
 feet by a perpendicular shaft, the lode or reef gradually widening to about 8 inches at the 
 bottom ; the ore assaying 74 to 75 per cent, of pure tin. 
 
 The glass jars are numbered 1 to 18, and contain specimens from the several tin-bearing 
 districts of this Colony.

 SMILAX G-LYCTPHTLLA : or, AUSTEALIAIST SARSAPARILLA. 
 
 {Nat. Order Smilacece.) 
 
 THIS plant abounds on the east coast of New South Wales, in damp and 
 shady places on sandy soils. 
 
 From the fresh leaves is obtained a decoction or extract similar in medicinal 
 properties, viz., alterative and tonic, but far more agreeable to the taste to 
 that yielded by the roots of Smilax officinalis, or Jamaica sarsaparilla. 
 
 The cost of production is only that of the labour for collecting the plant, 
 and the fuel (found on the spot) for evaporating the water used to the 
 consistence required. 
 
 The value of the liquid extract is about six shillings (6s.) per Ib. 
 
 About 11 Ibs. of leaves in 3 gallons of water will produce 1 Ib. of liquid 
 extract similar to the larger sample sent herewith, which was prepared in 
 the winter. In summer, from the same quantity of leaves, the yield would 
 probably be higher. 
 
 The smaller sample was prepared 3 years ago, since when it has been 
 exposed to severe atmospheric changes which have not had any injurious 
 effect upon it. 
 
 Accompanying is a bottle containing berries of the plant and some bundles 
 of the plant.

 PETROGALE PENNICILATA (Gray), OR ROCK WALLABY OF 
 NEW SOUTH WALES. 
 
 FUR long ; general colour deep purplish grey ; line of the throat and chest 
 white ; sides of the body sooty-brown ; abdomen brown or yellowish ; cheek 
 mark, greyish white ; tail long and brushy, clothed with long coarse hairs, 
 except on the base, where they resemble that of the body ; feet black, or 
 nearly so ; the nails of the centre and outer toe short and blunt, scarcely 
 projecting beyond the beautifully adapted pad of the foot. 
 
 These agile creatures are generally found in mountainous countries, select- 
 ing the rocky and broken precipices, with an aspect towards the rising sun, 
 where the jumbled masses of conglomerate afford them shelter, both in 
 their caverns and under their shelves by day, as well as security from the 
 native dog and wedge-tailed eagle. 
 
 It is wonderful with what exactness they can bound from side to side of a 
 high cleft and reach its summit with apparent ease, or with what precision 
 they can ascend and descend steep inclines of rough rock, or light upon 
 narrow ledges where one would scarce think it possible to obtain a footing. 
 Amongst these rocks may be observed their well-beaten paths, by which, at 
 night, they reach the plateaux or summit of the mountain in search of grass 
 and herbs, and the leaves of the Eucalyptus, of which they are also fond. 
 
 This Petrogale (or Rock Wallaby) is both nocturnal and gregarious, and 
 may be found in their favourite haunts in great numbers ; naturally shy and 
 timid, and rarely roaming far from those places which at once afford a retreat 
 and security. 
 
 On the mountains of Monaro and near the banks of the Murrum- 
 bidgee they are found in profusion ; and at Bathurst, the Turon, the Hawkes- 
 
38 New South Wales. 
 
 bury and its ranges, right away to Jerry's Plains, and at Liverpool Plains 
 ranges they are to be found. The young are easily reared, and readily tamed,, 
 but as they grow old, become vicious and spiteful|; as an instance, a female 
 once taken from the pouch, very young, was carefully and successfully reared, 
 and at two years old a male of the same genus was placed with it, which 
 (like a dog) it instantly seized with its mouth and its claws and together 
 with its hind feet soon despatched it. Six months afterwards a similar 
 experiment was tried and with the same result, although it had lived in 
 perfect harmony for the time with a large mountain kangaroo (Macropus 
 robustus) . 
 
 The flesh of these animals as an article of food cannot be surpassed, it is 
 white, tender, and juicy, and something like, but better than, hare in good 
 season ; the skin is clothed with long soft hair, and when judiciously cured 
 and squared, are made into very excellent bed-covers and rugs, and probably 
 may hereafter become an article much sought for. 
 
 GENUS OENITHOEHYNCHUS. 
 
 PLATYPUS ANATINUS (Shaw) 
 
 OKKITHOEHTNCHUS PAKADOXUS ... (Blumenbacli) 
 
 THIS animal was first discovered by Shaw in 1799, and by Blumenbach in 
 1800 ; the name Platypus anatinus, being the first published, doubtless would 
 have been adopted had it not been previously applied to a genus of insects ;. 
 therefore the name Ornifhorliynclms paradoxes of Blumenbach is universally 
 accepted, and has reference to the bird-like snout of the animal. Locally it 
 is more generally known as Platypus or "Water-mole, and amongst the abori- 
 gines over an extensive part of the country as Mulloongah, as well as by 
 other appellations in various tribal districts. 
 
 The length is about 17 inches, fur rather short and dense, the under fur 
 soft, and the outer fur rather crisp to the touch harsh and bristly on the 
 upper part of the tail ; general colour dusky brown ; on upper part of the 
 body rather dark, on the under paler, differing in shade according to sex, age r 
 and to the season of the year ; some of a silvery, others of a pink hue on 
 the abdomen and towards the sides. The male armed with spurs on the 
 hind legs, which at one time were believed to be poisonous, but by more 
 recent experiments found to be innoxious. 
 
 This interesting creature has excited perhaps more attention than any 
 other Australian mammal, both from its form and the desire to ascertain its 
 habits and economy. Formerly, from the character and description of the 
 skeleton described by Owen, who saw " many points of approximation to the 
 oviparous classes," and which no doubt gave rise to the hypothesis that this- 
 animal produced eggs. 
 
New South Wales. 39 
 
 The discovery however of the mammary glands by Meckel has been 
 confirmed, and a great amount of evidence is brought forward to prove that 
 the Alonotremata are allied to the Marsupiata, and are essentially ovo-vivi- 
 parous mammals, that they bring forth living young, and these are suckled 
 by the parent. 
 
 Nearly all the creeks and rivers of this Colony lying to the north of 
 Adelaide, besides those of Tasmania, contain this paradoxical creature ; still, 
 all the inquiries which have been made, and all the information of a reliable 
 character obtained, notwithstanding, there is a great deal of doubt and 
 uncertainty, and much hypothetical conjecture to be cleared up to the satis- 
 faction of a great majority, who have preferred to form theories of their own. 
 The greatest stumbling-block with these theorists is the mode in which the 
 Platypus or Water-mole produces its young ; some aver, and stick to the point 
 to the present day, that it is by eggs, and by the ordinary process of incuba- 
 tion, that this animal is reproduced. 
 
 Recently it was stated by a correspondent to one of the daily journals 
 that, at certain seasons, occasionally he ate the eggs for breakfast ; and 
 more recently still, during the early part of 1875, and through the same 
 medium, another party asserted that he had, upon opening a Platypus, found 
 one or two large eggs. I place, however, more reliance on the information 
 received from time to time from the Aborigines, who rarely err, especially 
 on a production of this kind, which to them would be an article of food : 
 they aver that the Platypus does not lay eggs, and that it feeds its young 
 for a considerable time after birth. 
 
 These animals live in burrows on the borders of rivers and creeks, and 
 which have two entrances or openings, one above and the other below the 
 water's edge. These burrows are serpentine in their course, and, according 
 to the nature of the country, of considerable length, varying from 10 to 40 
 feet. During the months of from September to November these burrows 
 have been examined, but not a vestige of an egg has been discovered, although, 
 on several occasions the young have been found in various stages of growth, 
 and apparently have never been in the water. 
 
 Moreover, according to Bennett (p. 122), who states that he found "loose 
 ova in the uterine cavity"; and further on, "I took fhe earliest opportunity 
 of transmitting to my friend Professor Owen the impregnated uterus of this 
 Ornitlwrlujnclius, and of two others which I subsequently obtained." 
 
 " The young are naked at first, and differ much from the adult in the form 
 of the beak ; this is very short in proportion, and has the margin smooth and 
 fleshy. The tongue is proportionately large, reaching the extremity of the 
 rnouth, which is thus fitted for sucking.* 
 
 * Waterhouse, vol. 1., p. 37. 
 
40 New South Wales. 
 
 There is also, according to Professor Owen, "a thin fold of integument 
 surrounding the base of the mandibles, which extends the angle of the mouth, 
 from the base of the lower jaw to equal the breadth of the base of the upper 
 one, which must increase the facility for receiving the milk ejected from the 
 mammary areola of the mother, and which shows no projecting nipple. 
 
 The food of the Ornithorliynclius, so far as has been discovered, consists of 
 minute insects and pond snails, together with grit, collected from the 
 banks of the stream. These animals are found at early morn or late in 
 the afternoon, or on a dull day, whilst in search of food, swimming low with 
 beak opened wide at the surface of the water, collecting or shovelling in 
 whatever may be of use ; at other times diving amongst the weeds, in which 
 they can remain some six or eight minutes. Irregular in their habits either 
 by day or by night, and issuing from their resting place as occasion may 
 demand, or the season, time, and inclination may permit. 
 
 The eye is small and brilliant, the hearing acute, and with these senses, 
 always on the alert whilst in the pursuit of food or exposed to danger, the 
 slightest noise, or the sudden snapping of a stick, or waving of a bough, will 
 cause them to dive under water, where they will remain some time, and when 
 they return for the purpose of breathing, they do so with such extreme 
 caution that the beak alone can be seen. Sometimes they w r ill reach the 
 lower entrance of their dwelling and be seen no more. Doubtless this gave 
 rise to some of the marvellous accounts of its amphibious habits. 
 
 The term of gestation the number of young at a birth, and how often they 
 breed are still matters of conjecture only ; and it may be truly said that 
 our knowledge of this paradoxical creature is incomplete. 
 
 The skins are much prized when cured, and make excellent articles for 
 domestic comfort, in cloaks, bed-covers, muffs, wristlets, and tippets, which, 
 with care, will last for a number of years, and when plucked of their coarser 
 outer fur they have the appearance of pile velvet.

 The "mogo" or stone hatchet of the aboriginals, together with other 
 designedly flinty chippings used as knives, and implements to incise their 
 bodies for the purpose of embellishing themselves with cicatrized wounds, at 
 nee identify the Aborigines as a very primitive people and belonging to the 
 stone age. 
 
 The mogo is a piece of basaltic or jasperoid rock selected from the un- 
 limited quantities of all sizes found in the many streams which contain them, 
 and almost fashioned for the purpose by the action of water and attrition for 
 ages. 
 
 The best of these are selected and carried about as part of their treasures, 
 some for general use, others for presents or barter with their neighbours or 
 more distant tribes.

 Manufacture of tlie Mor/o. 
 
 There are districts containing isolated spots of fine compact indurated 
 sandstone, to which the natives repair, and remain for days grinding down 
 to an edge these rude implements, the neighbouring forests or scrubs 
 affording ample game for their subsistence. These sharpening rocks may 
 be seen with their well-used grooves and channels in the Upper Hunter 
 districts, in various parts of the county of Cumberland, at Nandi on the 
 Wallandilli, and also at Shoalhaven, and Moruya. 
 
 The sharpening having been completed they select the flowering stem of 
 the " waratah" or native tulip, or the vine of pepperoma, or carefully split 
 the small water-gum of the streams, and T)y the action of fire make them 
 pliant ; either of these are selected for the handle.* 
 
 The next process is to secure some of the resinous and brittle gum of the 
 grass-tree (Xantlwrlicea) , which they knead and toughen also by the fire 
 process. With this gum heated they embed the centre of the stone, and take 
 one or two turns with the handle, already made pliant, and secure its 
 junction with a thong of the bark of the coorajong tree, fill all that part of 
 the handle secured round the stone with melted gum, and in a few hours it is 
 ready for use. 
 
 By aid of the sharpened part of this instrument, they ascend high 
 trees, cut out the opossum, or tap the tree for honey if needed ; fashion 
 boomerangs, waddies, and other wooden implements of warfare :

 And with the head of the mogo they will crack the bones of animals for 
 the marrow, or use it in any rough way required : always carefully avoiding to 
 use unnecessarily the sharpened edge. The introduction of the iron toma- 
 hawk has in most places superseded the mogo, but turning up old camping 
 places with the plough or the spade often reveals their existence. 
 
 * The use of the waratah for this purpose suggested itself to the smiths in the 
 early history of the Country, who used to give the aborigines trifles for a supply of this 
 article, to enable them to twist them round the punches and other implements whilst 
 working heated iron.

 WOODS INDIGENOUS TO THE SOUTHERN DISTEICTS OF 
 
 THE COLONY; 
 
 With Remarks descriptive of the nature of the Trees, and the qualities of 
 their Woods, so far as these could be ascertained. 
 
 A SIIOET description of the general features of the kinds of Woodland 
 from which have been collected the majority of the specimens of Woods 
 hereinafter described in detail, with a few observations upon the general 
 character of the latter, would seem to be a desirable introduction to the 
 Catalogue. They will be useful in rendering the subject more intelligible 
 to all who have not had the opportunity of informing themselves by personal 
 observation. For greater convenience the different descriptions of natural 
 Woodlands will be included under three Classes ; and the letter denoting its 
 Class will be inserted opposite to each specimen of Wood. 
 
 CLASS A. 
 
 Forests more or less open ; generally composed of trees with little or no underwood ; 
 their trunks more or less naked and lofty, height being a more conspicuous feature than 
 diameter ; their heads small in proportion to their trunks, divided into few secondary or 
 tertiary ramifications, and thinly clothed with persistent, dry, dull -coloured, thick, leathery 
 leaves, abounding in essential oils, and in their decomposition adding little to the vegetable 
 matter in the soil. The different species Eucalyptus and Angophora, with Melaleuca, 
 Callistemon, Syncarpia, and Lophostemon, compose the larger trees which fm-nish all the 
 common durable hard-wood timber used in Sydney and the adjoining districts. Occasionally 
 these dry forests pass into tracts crowded with trees, generally of a single species (still 
 with little or no underwood), their trunks being drawn up to a great height, and of small 
 diameter. The trees of this class are usually produced to a greater size, and with better 
 quality of timber, on lands rather poor than good ; the more fertile lands commonly pro- 
 ducing trees of comparatively small dimensions, thinly scattered over their surface. The 
 rich alluvial lands on the margins of rivers are exceptions to this rule. They are almost 
 always heavily timbered, and towards the coast their character passes from A to C. 
 
 There are some characteristics applicable to the whole of the large trees of this cla?s. 
 When at full matm-ity they are rarely sound at heart, and even when they are so, the 
 immediate heart-wood is of no value on account of its extreme britlleness. In sawing up 
 logs into scantlings or boards, the heart is always rejected. The direction in which the 
 larger species split most freely is never from the bark to the heart (technically speaking the 
 " bursting way"), but in concentric circles round the latter. Some few of the smaller 
 species of forest trees are exceptions to this rule; such as the different species of Casuarina, 
 Banksia, and other species belonging to the natural order Proteacere. The latter, however, 
 with little exception, belong to Class B. They split most freely the " bursting way," as 
 
60 New South Wales. 
 
 do the Oaks, c., of Europe and America. A very serious defect prevails amongst a portion 
 of the trees of this class, to such extent as to demand especial notice here. It is termed 
 " Gum vein," and consists simply in the extravasation, in greater or less quantity, of the 
 gum resin of the tree in particular spots, amongst the fibres of woody tissue, and probably 
 where some injury has been sustained ; or, which is a much greater evil, in concentric 
 circles between successive layers of the wood. The former is often merely a blemish, 
 affecting the appearance rather than the utility of the timber ; but the latter, when occurring 
 frequently in the same section of the trunk, renders it comparatively worthless, excepting 
 for fuel. In the latter case, as the wood dries, the layers with gum veins interposing 
 separate from each other ; and it is consequently impracticable to take from trees so affected 
 a sound piece of timber, excepting of very small dimensions. The whole of the species of 
 Angophora, or Apple-tree, and many of the Eucalypti, or Gums, are subject to be thus 
 affected ; and it is the more to be regretted, because it appears to be the only reason why 
 many of the trees, so blemished, should not be classed amongst the most useful of the hard- 
 woods of the Colony. Another characteristic among these hard-woods is deserving of 
 notice. Although the majority of them make excellent fuel, and are valuable on account 
 of the comparative quantity of steam they are capable of generating, the greater part are 
 slow to kindle, and a few of them will hardly burn at all. To this circumstance, probably, 
 is to be attributed the small number of houses burnt, in a climate and amongst a popula- 
 tion, likely to afford an unusual proportion of such accidents. Few of the species of 
 Eucalypti are rich in potash, but several of the genus Angophora contain it abundantly. 
 
 It would be difficult to form even an approximate estimate of the number of species of 
 Class A, producing good timber, throughout the settled districts of New South Wales. It 
 is believed that very few of them have a wide range ; the same local names being applied 
 many times over to different species in different districts. 
 
 CLASS B. 
 
 Barren scrub, covered either wholly with low shrubby vegetation without trees, or with 
 short-stemmed, stunted. trees, rarely or never producing serviceable timber. The same dry 
 character of vegetation prevails over this description of country as over the last. The 
 *' bush fires" which sweep over these barren scrubs once at least in every four or five years 
 effectually prevent the species which do not grow with naked trunks from obtaining the 
 dimensions they might otherwise be susceptible of acquiring. At each burning the majority 
 are killed to the ground, to be reproduced from the collar. Good specimens of their wood 
 for illustration are therefore scarcely attainable. It may be observed that the majority of 
 the beautiful flowering shrubs of the Colony have their habitats in this sort of country, which 
 is almost always more or less rocky, stony, or sandy. 
 
 CLASS C. 
 
 " Rich Brush," or " Cedar Brush." Tracts of country rarely of great continuous breadth, 
 but often alternating at short intervals with Class A, and prevalent only at moderate dis- 
 tances from the sea, or, at all events, to the eastward of the great dividing range. 
 
 This description of woodland often occupies country covered with rocks and stones, but 
 of such geological character that a rich soil results from their decomposition. It usually 
 follows the course of streams ; and, in country favoiirable, geologically speaking, to the 
 formation of good land, the Cedar Brushes fill up the valleys and the gorges of ravines with 
 their dense vegetation. They are to be found in the greatest perfection at Illawarra, a few 
 miles from the open sea coast, upon natural terraces, skirting the mountain side, at various 
 elevations up to 1,500 feet ; and upon rich alluvial plains, particularly in the districts to 
 the northward of Sydney, where they are described to be of great continuous extent. They 
 produce few shrubs, but a variety of trees of considerable altitude ; frequently of compara- 
 tively slender growth, almost universally clothed with beautiful, dense, bright-green foliage, 
 their umbrageous character being much increased by the numerous lofty ligneous climbers 
 (" bush ropes"), which attain their topmost branches, and frequently throw themselves from 
 tree to tree. At Illawarra, and in some other districts, four species of arborescent Ferns, and 
 two noble species of Palms, add materially to the tropical a&pect of this description of 
 country. A few of the trees of Class A are to be observed thinly scattered through the 
 Cedar Brushes. In such case they often attain the most magnificent dimensions, but their 
 general character remains unaltered. 
 
 During the heats of summer the atmosphere of the Cedar Brushes is always much less dry 
 and the temperature more equable than it is upon adjoining lands not clothed with rich 
 vegetation. Bush fires rarely or never extend into their recesses, which are difficult to pene- 
 trate, even on foot, owing to the numerous irregularities of surface which prevail, and to the 
 tangled nature of the vegetation. These difficulties apart, nothing can be imagined more 
 charming to the beholder, especially where glades or natural openings occur, to enable him 
 to comprehend the full grandeur of the still life around him. The extreme loftiness of the 
 
New South Wales. Cl 
 
 noble trees, which are thrown together in surprising variety, with stems rarely cylindrical, 
 but of the most picturesquely irregular forms,* covered with mosses and orchids, and loaded 
 aloft with huge masses of epiphytical ferns of exquisite beauty ; all these vegetable wonder?, 
 viewed in the transparent, green, and almost sunless light, which even on the brightest 
 days pervades their recesses, combined with the delicious fragrance, and (he agreeable 
 temperature, which in fine weather invariably characterizes the Cedar Brushes, astonish 
 and gratify the lovers of sylvan scenery. But, although the senses are charmed, the 
 difficulties in exploring them, to ascertain of what species of trees they consist, are 
 very great ; and still more serious are the obstacles to be surmounted in getting out new 
 trees when found. The common use of the wood of the cedar (Cedrela Australis) in 
 joiner's and cabinet work, and its extensive exportation to the neighbouring Colonies and 
 to Europe, have induced the sawyers to penetrate into every nook from whence sawn 
 timber could be dragged out. But, in seeking out this particular tieo, they would 
 appear to have neglected all the rest. The most experienced amongst them have no 
 names for a great number, and can give little information to be relied upon with 
 regard to the qualities of their timber. They have been in the habit of confounding 
 together numerous species, under the general designation of " brush trees." It requires 
 careful and laborious investigation, on the part of a stranger in these brushes, to distinguish 
 trees even of very different families. Their foliage is often so far overhead, and so inter- 
 mingled with that of neighbouring trees and climbers, their trunks are so covered with 
 epiphytes, and the light is so imperfect, that the tree often requires to be cut down to 
 determine its identity. Even then, it frequently becomes further requisite to cut down 
 several of the neighbouring trees, which have their branches attached to it by the " bush 
 ropes," before the tree will fall and bring the foliage within the explorer's reach. The 
 uncertainty of their periods of flowering and fruiting gives rise to further difficulty. On 
 the present occasion, although they have been repeatedly examined at short intervals, over 
 a period of six months, comprising the seasons at which they might be expected to show 
 flowers or fruit, it is remarkable how few have been detected in a fertile state. These few 
 forming the exception rather than the rule, with the particular species to which they belong, 
 it would appear to be certain that the great majority of the trees of this class do not flower 
 every year, and many of them only at long intervals. In proof of the intimate intermixture 
 of many kinds of trees, it may be stated that, skirting a narrow track through a Cedar 
 Brush for about half a mile, more than sixty species were observed, all growing within 
 twenty or twenty-five yards of the track. Of these, above three-fourths were of the stature 
 of trees. It may be remarked also that no two brushes resemble each other precisely. Fresh 
 species of trees make their appearance in each succeeding brush, whilst others disappear. 
 This characteristic seems to prevail, wherever an opportunity of examining them closely 
 has been afforded. 
 
 The timber of the trees of this class differs remarkably from Class A. The grain is much 
 liner ; it is also more generally sound at heart ; and the heart wood, if not shaken in the 
 fall of the tree, may be used, as is the case with the timber trees of Europe. Even when 
 of very large size, and not sound at the butt, they are often perfectly so a little higher 
 up. They differ generally, also, from the trees of Class A, in splitting most freely the 
 " bursting way." 
 
 Although their qualities be so little known, it is not to be doubted that some of them 
 would prove of great value. The very imperfect collection of them which has been made 
 on this occasion affords evidence that some possess considerable beauty. At the same time 
 it should be observed that the timber of a considerable portion is not durable when exposed 
 to the weather or to damp ; and that, as a class, they are neither for strength nor lasting 
 qualities to be compared with the numerous, more coarsely grained, but almost imperishable 
 woods of Class A. 
 
 * Amongst the forms which attract the attention of a stranger may be instanced the Giant Nettle 
 (Urtica Gigax), a common brush tree, which occasionally attains very noble proportions. Two specimens, 
 growing near each other, uj-on measurement, proved respectively to be 40 and 42 feet in circumference at. 
 4 feet from the ground. The smaller one, still in full vigour, rises from its base by a sevies of buttresses of 
 singularly regular outline, gradually tapering upwards without a brancli to the height of 100 to 120 feet ; 
 the trunk then dividing into a regularly formed, wide spreading head. 
 
 But in picturesque beauty, as well as in stature, the Nettle must give place to the Giant Figs. Of five 
 species of this genus common to the brushes, three (Ficu* Macrophylla), and two with very small I'-aves 
 (the names of which we have not ascertained), become huge trees. The largest actually measured girthed 
 about 86 or 87 eet; its very irregular form preventing any approach to accuracy. It would be difficult by 
 description to convey an adequate idea of the grand, yet wild, character of these singular trees. Originating 
 from seed deposited by birds, high up among the branches of the tallest trees, the plant commences its growth 
 by extending its rope-like roots directly downwards. Getting firm possession of the soil, it then gradually 
 embraces the parent ttem, until the latter wholly disappears under the successive ligneous layers deposited 
 by the Fig, and becomes the centre of an enormous fluted column, generally of very irregular form, but 
 always supported by huge buttresses, which extend to a great circumference at the l>a<e. The Fig has now 
 become the monarch of the surrounding brush; extending its immense cupola-shaped head high above the 
 sxirrounding trees, and its roots, far around, in ridges like low walls, several feet above the soil. An i:i 
 was observed in which, supposing the tree to be standing alone upon a plain, a hundred me.n might bo 
 placed, sitting or lying down between the roots, perfectly concealed from riew at a short distance.

 WOODS INDIGENOUS TO THE NOETHEEN DISTEICTS OF 
 
 THE COLONY. 
 
 (Collected ly ME. CHAS. MOOEE.) 
 
 The woods referred to in the following catalogue were collected in the Clarence and 
 Eichmond Districts, and are principally from localities similar in every respect to that 
 described as " Rich Brush," " Cedar Brush," in the Introduction to the Woods of the 
 Southern Districts. It may be well to observe, by way of further information, that this 
 description of country occupies both sides of the Clarence Eiver for upwards of sixty mfles, 
 in belts of no great breadth. On the banks of the Eichmond it is not so extensive or so 
 continuous, but from the north branch of that river a rich brush woodland extends in an* 
 inland direction to the north-west and south-west for nearly one hundred miles each way - r 
 skirting, more or less, the vast basin formed by the New England Dividing Range. The- 
 number of species of trees, and the size to which many of these attain in this magnificent 
 country, especially on the table-land, is truly astonishing, some red cedars being ten feet in 
 diameter, and yielding thirty thousand feet of saleable timber. Yet so little is known of 
 these woods, that, beyond the Cedar (Oedrela], Pine (Araucaria), Rose-wood (Sgnoun), Ash 
 (Flindersia), Beech \Vitex), Tulip Wood (Owenia), and Silky Oak ( Grevilleci), nearly all 
 the others are regarded as worthless, excepting for firewood. 
 
 It is desirable to add that the collection was made at a season when the sap was rapidly 
 rising. From this cause, as well as from the subsequent exposm*e to the sun and air, to 
 which they were all unavoidably subjected, many of the sections have split, or have been 
 otherwise injured. By comparing this with the preceding catalogue, it will be observed 
 that while some trees are common to both districts, such as the large-leaved Fig (Flcus 
 macrophylla), large nettle (Urtica gigas), Native Tamarind (Cttpaniaaustralis), and the Eed 
 Cedar (CedreHa Australis), and some others, that in general there is a great distinction in. 
 genera and species between the trees of the south and those of the north. The most 
 remarkable difference in this respect is the entire absence in the former of Araucaria, 
 Flindersia, Castanospermum, Rottlera, Argyrodenclron, and Owenia, genera which abound 
 everywhere in the latter, and mark by their peculiar appearance the localities in whicli 
 they grow.

 OBSERVE. In the following list, the first name, in small capitals, is the botanical name- 
 The second name, in italics, is the natural order. Then follow the description of the 
 tree, and after that the aboriginal name, in small capitals the local name in italics^ 
 and the habitat. 
 
 I. FLINDERSIA BENNETTII. F. MUELL. Cedrelacea. This tree is very abundant in the 
 coast brush forests, there attaining a height of 80 feet and 2 feet diameter, com- 
 paratively rare and of small size on the Clarence ; its large bright glossy foliage 
 and masses of terminal white flowers render it a conspicuous object wherever it 
 grows ; the wood is seldom vised by settlers, but as it splits well might probably be 
 valuable for staves. BOGUX-BOGFX. Richmond River. 
 
Nciv South Wales. 71

 of vessels, GEEIA. Brush, Bastard or White Box. Port Stephens to the 
 Tweed ; plentiful within the coast range in open forests as well as in brushes. 
 
 VI. LOPHOSTEMON AuSTRALiS VAE. Myrtacece. This tree is abundant, perhaps the same 
 as the last, although the wood is somewhat redder in colour, and hence the name. 
 Used, like the last, for ship-building, scantling, flooring board, &c. Red Box. 
 Richmond River. 
 
 VII. NELITEIS SP. Myrtacece. This fine tree occurs only on the coast, in situations facing 
 
 the sea, where it attains a height of from 70 to 80 feet, and from 3 to 4 feet in 
 
 diameter. Its timber has been used for ship-building purposes, but on account of 
 
 * its hardness is now seldom employed. It is very close-grained, and when fresh is 
 
 quite red in colour, Very plentiful. Bv.ranna. Richmond River, near Ballina. 
 
 viii. FEENELLA VEEEUCOSA, VAE. LJEYIS. Coniferce. The root of this tree is valued

 name as the cypress pine ; it grows in the greatest profusion in all the brush 
 forests on the Richmond ; the timber from the inland or mountain brushes is 
 preferred to that from the coast. It is exported to Sydney and elsewhere in large 
 quantities, the sawyers receiving at the present time 2 10s. per thousand feet. 
 Some trees will yield as much as ten thousand feet of saleable timber. Spars for 
 ships may be obtained in any quantity, from 80 to 100 feet in length. In some 
 instances the tree attains a height of at least 150, and from 4 to 5 feet in diameter

 THE OEANGE AND ITS VAEIETIES. 
 
 NEW South "Wales produces few indigenous fruits, and those of a class so 
 poor that they are scarcely worth naming ; neither has any successful 
 attempt been made to improve such of its natural productions either by 
 budding, grafting, or otherwise. 
 
 In our exotic and acclimatized varieties we have the orange, citron, lime, 
 lemon, and shaddock ; pear, apple, quince, peach, nectarine, and apricot ; 
 loquat, pomegranate, medlar, guava, and Chinese date plum j strawberry, 
 mulberry, grape, cherirnoria, passion-fruit, banana, and fig, besides the different 
 varieties of water-melon, rock-melon, cucumber, and other cucurbitaceous 
 plants, all of whiqh grow side by side in the county of Cumberland and most 
 other parts of the Colony, and in good seasons produce fruit in great pro- 
 fusion and of excellent quality, and which may be obtained at moderate 
 prices. While the more elevated table-lands of Goulburn, Bathurst, Braid- 
 wood, &c., with their colder climate, produce, in addition to those already 
 named, cherries, plums, gooseberries, and currants, with which, through 
 the means of expeditious transit, the growers are enabled to supply the 
 metropolitan market. 
 
88 Neio South Wales. 
 
 Much attention has been bestowed both on the orange and on the grape. 
 The former is exported to the neighbouring Colonies in large and remu- 
 nerative quantities, and the latter, from which wine to an enormous extent 
 and value is made, bids fair to become also an article of great exportation. 
 
 The first introduction of the orange is very properly attributed to Captain 
 Hunter, who brought it, in 1788, from Bio, together with a variety of other 
 plants and seeds, many of which grew, and speedily became acclimatized; 
 and as early as 1790, Governor Phillip reported that "the orange-trees 
 flourish, and the fig-trees and vine are improving still more rapidly." The 
 success also of some of these plants at Norfolk Island, in the same year, is 
 also recorded by Lieutenant King, who had been appointed Superintendent 
 and Commandant of that island, wherein, he observes, " Vines, orange and 
 lemon trees are in a very thriving state." 
 
 We may therefore from that time consider the orange, the fig, and the 
 vine to be permanent in the Colony, although, of course, since then, and long 
 subsequent, we have added the choicer and more valuable varieties to our 
 stock. 
 
 Continued success having attended the cultivation of the orange, it gradu- 
 ally became an article of very considerable importance, and should now be 
 ranked as a valuable addition to the numerous productions of the Country. 
 
 Orange plantations, already numerous, are still increasing in the county of 
 Cumberland to a considerable extent, more especially in those parts which 
 have by experience been proved adapted to the cultivation, and where the 
 physical features of the country present a site for an orangery, with an aspect 
 from north to east, and well sheltered. 
 
 Seedlings from the pips of the sweet orange, the lemon, and Seville orange 
 are raised for stocks, sorted into sizes, and rowed out, and in the following 
 year budded or grafted with scions from a parent tree which has already 
 produced fruit of a well-known character and quality. Seedlings, however, 
 from the sweet orange have occasionally produced an anomaly of fruit other 
 than that desired ; therefore, to prevent this it is necessary to be exceedingly 
 careful in the selection of good fruit and perfect pips for sowing. Inde- 
 pendent of this, however, the worked trees have an advantage over those seed- 
 lings, as they come into bearing earlier, with a certainty of fruit similar to 
 the parent stock. 
 
 The exportation of young plants has also become a considerable feature in 
 the profits of the nurseryman, as thousands of these are annually sent to 
 the neighbouring Colonies. 
 
 Many proprietors of good orangeries have made ample fortunes, and 
 those with the nucleus of a similar property may, in a few years, by care, 
 attention and perseverance, become independent in their turn.

 SUGAR-GROWING IN NEW SOUTH WALES. 
 
 THE growth of sugar-cane in the Colony of New South Wales has been 
 hitherto mainly confined to the banks of the Clarence Eiver, within 20 miles 
 of the coast line, in latitude about 28| south.

 The soil is almost wholly alluvial, consisting of a sandy loam, the pre- 
 vailing deficiency being lime. It is rather too light for cane, which grows 
 better in a stiffer soil, but it yields good average crops at present, and pro- 
 mises a continuance of them as long as the deposit from successive inunda- 
 tions renovates the soil, and obviates in some degree the ill effects of using 
 the mill trash as fuel, instead of returning it to the land. 
 
 The farming is of low quality ; deep ploughing, subsoiling, through-draining, 
 liming, and irrigation, being unpractised. One, or at most two, ploughings 
 from 4 to 6 inches deep, and one or two harrowings having been given, the 
 cane is planted in rows usually 7 feet apart, a space of 7 feet being left 
 between the plants. The description of cane that has been found most 
 suitable for yield, richness of juice, resistance to frost, drought, and disease, 
 and for rattooning well, is the ribbon cane, believed to be identical with the 
 " guinghan" of Mauritius. The plant cane is cut from twenty to twenty-four 
 months after planting ; the rattoons, as a rule, every year. 
 
 In the season 1874-75 about 4,000 acres of land are reported as having 
 been under sugar-cane cultivation, the produce from which was over 6,000 
 tons of fine grocery and ration sugars, besides molasses. Owing to injury 
 from frost, and the prevailing wetness of the season, and absence of sunshine 
 during the continuance of manufacture, the density of the juice was low, oil 
 the average not attaining to 10 Bauine. Prom the same cause the growth 
 of the canes was rank, instances being not infrequent of so large a weight as 
 90 tons having been cut from a single acre. Daring the present (1875-6) 
 season the canes are yielding juice of better density and quality. 
 
 Further south the temperature, even along the sea-board, is unfavourable 
 to the growth and maturing of the cane. An experiment on a large scale at 
 the Macleay River, in latitude 31 S. proved a failure, owing principally to 
 the injury done to the cane by frost, which necessitated the removal of a 
 large mill and machinery from that river to the Clarence. 
 
 The soil on the banks of the Richmond and Tweed, the more northern 
 rivers of New South "Wales (in latitudes 29 and 2S respectively) have 
 proved favourable to the growth of the sugar-cane ; it consists of alluvial 
 deposits from periodical overflows of the banks ; but the bars at the mouths 
 of both these rivers present obstacles which, until their removal, will probably 
 prevent any material increase in the cultivation of the cane in those localities. 
 
 So far experience has shown that no part of the Colony exceeding 20 miles 
 from the coast is suitable for the profitable growth of sugar cane, on account 
 of the frosts, which at times are extremely severe. 
 
 As a general rule the cane is grown by the farmers, and cut and conveyed 
 to the mills by the manufacturers, who pay the growers various prices per 
 ton of cane delivered. 
 
 The great increase in the prosperity of the inhabitants of the Clarence 
 River District, since the commencement there of the sugar industry, has been 
 most marked, and appears likely to continue.

 WINES, ALCOHOLS, AND MALT LIQUORS. 
 
 WINE CULTURE. 
 
 THE grape-vine was first introduced into New South "Wales in the year 
 1788 ; since which time its cultivation has so greatly increased, and been 
 attended with so much success as to leave it no longer a matter of doubt that 
 the soil and climate of the Colony are eminently adapted for the prosecution 
 of this branch of industry. 
 
 For many years the sweet water, black cluster, and other inferior varieties 
 were the only representatives of the grape in this Colony ; but finer varieties 
 were subsequently introduced, and the tables of the colonists began to be 
 regularly supplied through the markets. The success which attended the 
 cultivation of the grape as a table fruit induced the Messrs. Macarthur of 
 Cauiden to turn their attention to the manufacture of wine ; and though 
 the labour of years was thrown away in consequence of the knavery of the 
 packers, who substituted other varieties for those selected in the year 1815 
 from the vineyards of Burgundy and Switzerland, the efforts of these gentle- 
 men and others who subsequently followed their example were ultimately 
 crowned wifli complete sucess, .and Australia can now boast of as fine a 
 catalogue of wine and table grapes as Germany, France, or Spain. 
 
 After the decadence of the almost universal taste for rum, imported from 
 the "West Indies, the richer classes of colonists were supplied with port and 
 sherry from Spain, and madeira from the island of that name ; but the 
 tradesman and laborer were fain to be content with worthless trash, in the 
 shape first of white wine imported in large quantities from the Cape of G-ood 
 Hope, and subsequently of red wine from Benecarlo and Tarragona. 
 
 Although wine began to be made in the Colony to such an extent as to 
 supersede the inferior light imported wines, its manufacture was not at first 
 generally well understood, and it was difficult to contend with the acquired 
 taste for spirits, and the strongly fortified ports and sherries which had become 
 fashionable. The manufacture however was not only persisted in, but began 
 to be so greatly improved, mainly in consequence of the importation of 
 professional vignerons from Germany, France, and Italy, that at the Great 
 Exhibition of 1851, a sample exhibited by the Messrs. Macarthur compared 
 ery favou ra bly with the renowned Hungarian Tokay. 
 
94 New South Wales. 
 
 Notwithstanding the check which every Australian industry received in 
 consequence of the withdrawal of labour consequent on the discovery of gold 
 in the year 1852, the marked suitability of the climate induced cultivators to 
 persevere, and with the assistance of a little judicious legislation, the manu- 
 facture of wine has greatly increased ; and it is hoped that although the 
 Colony has only sent to the Exhibition at Philadelphia a small number of 
 samples, yet that these few representing its central as well as its northern 
 and southern districts will be the means of opening a large trade with the 
 United States of America. 
 
 Dr. Lindeniann, one of our largest growers of excellent wine, remarks : 
 4i The soil and climate of many parts of New South Wales are eminently 
 adapted to viticulture ; from the Murray in the south to the Clarence in the 
 north there are few places where the vine will not nourish, yielding wines in 
 great variety and of rare quality. Many of the wines grown on the Murray 
 are rich and alcoholic, surpassing in these qualities the wines of Portugal ; 
 while others with their soft luscious fulness and delicate flavour rival the first 
 growths of the far-famed Constantia. Again, the wines grown upon the 
 Hunter and more northern rivers are light, dry, and fragrant, bearing close 
 resemblance to the sauternes, clarets, and burgundies of France. And there 
 can be little doubt that the produce of the vine in the not very distant future 
 will become a valuable export." 
 
 The usual dryness of the climate is favourable to the vine when planted in 
 suitable soils and aspects, and as wine-growing requires only a small capital 
 in addition to the requisite skill and industry, it has already become a very 
 profitable business, and is likely to become more so, as the growing taste for 
 wholesome unfortified wines developes itself. 
 
 Already the Colony produces annually about 500,000 gallons of wine, and 
 2,000 gallons of brandy, besides supplying more than 1,000 tons of table 
 grapes for home use and exportation to other Colonies.

 HEMP, FLAX, VEGETABLE FIBRES OF VARIOUS KINDS. 
 
 364. No. 1. FIBRE OF DORYANTHES EXCELSA, or Gigantic Lily of colonists. 
 This amaryllidaceous plant grows in great abundance in various 
 parts of the Coast Districts, north and south of Sydney. It 
 yields a valuable fibre of a fine quality. 
 
 365. No. 2. FIBRE OF GYMNOSTACHYS ATJCEPS, Travellers' grass of colonists. 
 This aroidaceous plant is very common along the Coast Districts 
 of New South Wales, and its leaves are extensively used by 
 settlers for tying purposes. This yields a fibre of such strength 
 that it requires a strong man to break a portion of a leaf half 
 an inch in breadth. 
 
 366. No. 3. FIBRE OF FURCRCEA GIGANTEA. This South American amarylli- 
 daceous plant is well suited for cultivation in New South Wales. 
 It yields a strong and durable fibre, and might be grown for this 
 quality on poor soils when not wanted for any other purpose. 
 
 367. No. 4. FIBRE OF FOURCROYA CUBENSIS. A Cuban amaryllidaceous 
 plant, which yields an excellent fibre and grows most luxuriantly 
 in New South Wales. 
 
 368. No. 5. FIBRE OF AGAVE AMERICANUM. This well known American 
 aloe, which produces such an excellent fibre and of such strong 
 and durable quality, is well suited for cultivation for its fibre 
 alone. It will grow in almost any situation, and so freely that 
 under favourable circumstances it will flower in from seven to 
 eight years. 
 
 369. No. 6. FIBRE OF MUSA SAPIENTUM, or Common Plantain. This plant, 
 so generally planted in New South Wales for its fruit, yields a 
 fibre second only in value of its kind to that of the Manila 
 hemp, which is obtained from Musa texilis. 
 
 370. No. 7. COMMERSONIA ECHINATA, Brown Kurrajong of colonists. The 
 fibre of this tree is of a very tenacious nature, and is preferred 
 to all others by the aborigines for making nets. 
 
 371. No. 8. FIBRE OF STERCULIA LURIDA, Sycamore of colonists. This fibre 
 is the inner bark of the tree. When fresh it has a lace-like 
 character, and is in consequence made up into a variety of 
 fancy articles by the colonists. MOORE, CHAS., Director 
 of Botanic G-ardens, Sydney.

 WOOL. 
 
 ALTHOUGH Australia may justly boast of the unequalled richness and 
 variety of her mineral productions, of the large returns, and the great 
 fortunes amassed from the yield of her Gold Fields, and especially in the Colony 
 of New South Wales, from her boundless deposits of coal, copper, iron, tin, 
 &c., yet nothing approaches in importance the Wool industry, and New South 
 Wales, is the Colony par excellence for wool and sheep. 
 
 The climate and soil of New South Wales seem to unite all the qualifi- 
 cations requisite for the easy and natural growth and improvement of the 
 merino sheep ; and it may be justly said, that it is the most important, the 
 most profitable and is likely to be the most lasting source of prosperity in 
 the Colony. 
 
 New South Wales, comprising within its area, as it does, the most suit- 
 able zone for the production of fine wool, has always taken the lead both in 
 the quality and quantity produced in Australia. The whole extent of the 
 Colony, with the exception of a narrow strip lying between the dividing 
 range and the sea, is admirably adapted for the growth of merino wool, 
 while the coast valleys and plains, and the lofty plateau of the main range 
 with its cool climate and rich soil, offer the kind of country more suited to 
 the production of long wools principally of the Lincoln and Leicester and 
 Cotswold breeds. The production of long wools is however, so far, 
 comparatively limited, and forms a very small proportion of the yearly 
 product, while the merino sheep, from its great adaptability to the climate, 
 has increased nearly threefold in the previous decade ; the numbers being 
 8,132,511 for the year 1866, while the returns for the year 1875 reached 
 nearly 25 millions. 
 
 The strong, deep-grown, long-stapled combing wools have proved themselves 
 the favourites with the American buyers in this market. These are princi- 
 pally grown in our Eiverine districts, and, owing to the proximity of those 
 districts to Melbourne and Adelaide, and the facilities afforded by the exten- 
 sion of the Victorian railways to the Murray, and the fact of our system of 
 navigable rivers flowing towards those cities, most of the Eiverine wools 
 are shipped from those ports instead of from Sydney. 
 
 Thus, for instance, we find that in the season 1874-5, out of about 
 200,000 bales (being the total quantity carried by the Victorian railways), 
 100,000 bales at least were the produce of New South Wales. 
 
New South Wales. 101 
 
 According to statistical returns, we find that there were about 16,000 bales 
 of wool from the Darling Biver, which runs through the north-western part 
 of New South Wales, shipped from South Australia, thus showing a total of 
 about 117,000 bales shipped through other Colonies. 
 
 The total exports from the Colonies of New South Wales, Victoria, South 
 Australia, and Queensland, in the year 1874-5, were about 548,000 bales. 
 Of this number 216,000 bales were the net produce of New South Wales, 
 the value of which may be roundly estimated in the London market at 
 between five and a half and six millions pounds sterling. If the seasons 
 continue propitious, and prices are maintained at anything about their 
 present rates, we may reasonably expect to see this satisfactory progress 
 maintained ; and the probability is very great that another ten years will see 
 New South Wales doubling her number of sheep, and being able to exhibit a 
 return of forty to fifty millions. The warehouses in Sydney for the storing 
 and sale of wool are fine commodious buildings ; and those erected by 
 Messrs. Mort & Co. and others, are certainly commensurate with the 
 great and increasing importance of the wool trade of the Colony. 
 
 Messrs. Mort & Co., in their circular, dated Sydney, Oct. 22, 1875, make 
 the following remarks on the season's trade : 
 
 The American demand, from which so much advantage, it was hoped, would accrue to 
 the Colonies, is apparently for the present dormant, not because of any inability in these 
 Colonies to meet the demand from thence, either as regards quantity or quality, but mainly 
 owing, it would appear, to the difficulties placed in the way of introduction by the con- 
 tinuance of excessive Customs duties, and which has tended to check foreign importations, 
 to the manifest injury of the manufacturing interests. Strenuous efforts are being made in 
 New York and elsewhere, to obtain a modification of the existing tariff, which, if successful, 
 will more freely open America to these Colonies as a market for wool, and tend thereby to 
 encourage a commerce which cannot fail to be mutually advantageous. 
 
 It is hoped that the large collection of wools forwarded to Philadelphia 
 will form, if not the most attractive, yet not the least interesting of the 
 exhibits from this Colony, and that a trade will spring up between Australia 
 and the United States of America that will be of mutual benefit to both 
 their communities, which are scions of the same British stock, each, let us 
 hope, destined to achieve a lofty position among the nations of the earth.

 Visitors to this section will observe that the wools are classified in their 
 order of fineness of staple ; the earlier numbers being from sheep bred on 
 the western slopes of the Great Dividing Range, which runs parallel to and 
 at a distance from the coast of from 50 to 100 miles, and which is the very 
 fine wool-growing district of the Colony. 
 
 The later numbers are from sheep fed chiefly on the more succulent 
 herbage of the interior plains, showing the deeper grown and stronger staple 
 which those pastures tend to produce. 
 
 The varied soil and climate which must necessarily exist in so large an area 
 as that embraced in the Colony of New South Wales have now been proved 
 to grow in perfection all the varieties of character which the merino "breed of 
 sheep is capable of producing, from the very finest clothing wool suitable for 
 the manufacture of broadcloths to the silky lustrous combing wool now so 
 sought after for the production of merinos, de-laines, and other fine and 
 delicate fabrics.
