Though at the age of 17 he wrote a novel which was actually published, he seems to have been most bent on a musical career; but he wearied of music, and turned to journalism. In 1893 he visited Egypt for his health, and while there conceived the idea which materialized in the " Imaginative Man" HIDALGO amara), the pig-nut hickory, or hog nut or broom hickory (C. porcina), the nutmeg hickory (C. myristicæ formis), etc. The hickory of New South Wales is Eucalyptus sturatiana and E. resinifera.
