Fossil wood, almost partaking of the nature of coal, containing resin : 
considered to be fossilized Dryobalanops Camphora. 
(All the above valuable collection sent from Borneo, and presented 
by J. Motley, Esq.) 
Camphor and Oil of Dryobalanops Camphora, Colebr., from Sumatra. 
(Dr. W. H. De Vriese.) 
Gum Piney (called also Copal in India, Dr. Roxburgh, and Dammar 
by the English); a resin from Vateria Indica, Gertn. Malabar and 
Ceylon. (E. I. C. D. Hanbury, and G. H. K. Thwaites, Esqs.) 
From this tree exudes the resin called Piney (Paenoe or Peini) resin, 
of which in India the Piney varnish is made (see Roxb, Fl. Ind. vol. ii. 
p. 604). It effectually resists the action of water. Beads are made 
of it, exactly resembling amber beads, and, like that substance too, it 
is electric when rubbed. 
Resin and bark of Dipterocarpus turbinatus, Geertn. Eastern Bengal 
(and Ceylon?). (G. H. K. Thwaites, Esq.) This tree, Dr. Roxburgh 
says, is famous all over the eastern parts of India and the Malay Islands, 
on account of its yielding a liquid balsam, commonly called wood-oil, 
which is much used for painting ships, houses, etc. After long exposure 
to the air it concretes into a resin. 
Indian Balsam of Copaiba, essential oil of the last-mentioned tree, 
Dipterocarpus turbinatus, Gsertn. ; prepared by J. Gordon, analytical 
chemist, Calcutta, 
Resin of an unknown Dipterocarpus (?) from India. (E. I. C.) 
Doon, or Doon-gaba (Doon-tree) resin, from Doona Zeylanica, Thwaites 
in Kew Gard. Miscel., vol. iv. p. 7, and vol. iii. Tab. XII. Ceylon. 
.. (E. C., and G. H. K. Thwaites, Esq.) Mr. Thwaites says, “ Thisisa 
.. fine forest-tree, very abundant in some parts of the central province 
. of Ceylon, especially on the crests of the hills. The timber is much 
esteemed for building purposes, and the resin, which exudes in consider- 
able quantities from any wounded part of the tree, is sometimes used by 
the natives for burning i in their houses, being first mixed with husks 
of paddy (rice) : it is soluble in spirits of wine, and makes an excellent 
varnish. 3» ^
