Abstract
MR. HENRY G. SMITH, of Sydney, in his presidential address to the section of Chemistry at the meeting of the Australasian Association for the Advancement of Science, held at Wellington in January last, dealt particularly with the elucidation of some chemical characteristics of Australian vegetation, treating the subject in relation to the generalisations that may reasonably be advanced from the consideration of the results secured by the phyto-chemical study of the principal Australian genera, such as Eucalyptus and Callitris. This study extended over a period of more than thirty years, and was undertaken in conj unction with his botanical colleague, Mr. R. T. Baker.
