This section is from the book "A Research On The Eucalypts Especially In Regard To Their Essential Oils", by Richard T. Baker, Henry G. Smith. Also available from Amazon: A Research On The Eucalypts And Their Essential Oils.

Tabulated Results obtained with the Crude Oils, at time of distillation, together with their Chief Constituents.
Complete data in reference to the oils of individual species are not given here, and fuller information concerning any particular oil will be found recorded under that species, to which further reference may be made. Where more than one result is given, the figures represent the highest and lowest and refer alone to our own investigations.
The differences shown with a particular oil are largely controlled by a predominance of a certain constituent characteristic of the species, and the time taken for the original distillation is also a contributing factor in varying the amount of high-boiling constituents. In the list of principal constituents recorded for each species, only the more pronounced are included, but others than those listed often occur in small quantities, and as these are of a general character they are not included in the list.
The specific gravities were taken at room temperature and corrected for 150 C, the correction for each degree being 0.00075. The refractive indices are the readings for a Zeiss Abbe refractometer with heatable prisms, and corrected for 200 C, the correction used being 0.00047 for each degree. The saponification number with many of the oils is large; this number is the sum of the esters and free acid values, although the free acid with most species is very small indeed. The solubilities in alcohol are, to a certain extent, an indication of the amount of constituents containing oxygen, and the determination is one of considerable value. The alcohol was standardised for absolute alcohol by weight, as a greater uniformity in strength could thus be secured. The 70 per cent, alcohol had specific gravity 0.872 and the 80 per cent. 0.8483, both at 15.5° C. If the oil was not soluble in 10 volumes 80 per cent. alcohol, it is classed as insoluble.
Volatile aldehydes occur in all crude Eucalyptus oils; where mentioned they were more pronounced than usual.
The phenols, tasmanol and australol, occur in all crude Eucalyptus oils, and for that reason are not tabulated; the amount present is usually very small.
Eudesmol occurs in both the liquid and crystallised conditions; where the word eudesmol alone is given it means the crystalline form.
Cineol is recorded in percentages for the original oils when first distilled, and also in an adjoining column for the identical samples after these had been stored away from the light and air for about 20 years. The analyses of the oils at this later period are recorded under the species in this work. With several of the oils increases in cineol were noticeable, and as the results in both cases were obtained by the phosphoric acid method they are comparable. With the majority of species, however, little or no alteration in cineol content had taken place.
The letters placed with the figures in the cineol columns indicate that the determinations were made by (R) the resorcinol method; (T) qualitatively determined, and (P) by the phosphoric acid method. In cases where letters are omitted, the determinations were carried out with phosphoric acid.
The yields of oil will be found recorded in a separate table. Articles dealing with the chief constituents will also be found in this work.
