MAULMATN LANCE-WOOD. 



There is a tree found all over the Provinces which yields 

 a wood that the residents at Maulmain sometimes call 

 lance- wood. The Karens make bows of it, but prefer 

 Cassia fistula. I have never met with the tree in flower, 

 but think it a species of dalbergia, though it may possi- 

 bly be a cassia.

OAK. 



Wallich found seven different species of oak growing 

 in Burmah and on this Coast. Three or four are natives 

 of the Provinces, and all afford useful timber, though in- 

 ferior to the English oak.

JAROOL. 



The queen la^erstrcemia, or jarool, is an abundant tim- 

 ber tree in these Provinces, though very scarce on ihe 

 other Coast. The posts of an old wharf at Tavoy which 

 were of this wcod, stood erect for twenty or thirty 

 years; but house posts often decay in the ground in a 

 much shorter period. It is considered a valuable timber 

 in ship building. There is a smaller species of iagerstrae- 

 mia in our jungles whose wood is inferior, but it is some- 

 times confounded with the other.
