filled with pith; but it does not extend to the whole 
length; on the contrary, they are found in small portions 
of a foot or a foot and half long at certain distances. 
The method of extracting the oil is merely by making 
a deep incision with-a Malay axe in the tree, about four- 
teen or eighteen feet from the ground, till near the heart, 
when a deeper incision is made with a small aperture, 
and the oil if any in the tree immediately gushes out, and 
is received in bamboos or any other utensil better approv- 
ed of. Inthis manner a party proceeds through the woods, 
wounding the camphor trees till they attain their.object. 
The camphor is procured in pretty nearly the same way. 
The trees are cut to the heart about the same height from 
the ground as inthe former instance, till the camphor is 
seen; hundreds may be mutilated before the sought fur 
tree is discovered ; when attained it is felled, and cutinto 
junks of a fathom long, which are again split, and the 
camphor is found in the heart occupying a space, in cir- 
cumference of the thickness of a man’s arm. The pro- 
duce of a middling sized tree is about eight China catties 
or nearly eleven pounds and of a large one, double that 
quantity. The camphor thus found is called the Tento- 
ry. It is often the case that the trees which have been 
cut and left sta - in, that state, will. produce cam- 
-phor in seven or eight. years after, which is distinguished 
by the name of Oogar, but is inferior in appearance though 
of the same quality. ~The sorts of camphor called belly 
and foot are the nornTing of the vont which surrounds it.”
