The effects of thermal degradation on shrinkage and collapse of three Australian species have been described analytically by a simple kinetic model involving two first- order processes which produce and eliminate acid. The theory based on this model fitted the experimental data satisfactorily. Values obtained from weight losses of specimens are included for comparison.
