Kurz describes the heartwood as of a red<lish-brown colour and a good wood for 

 cabinet work. For some reason or other trees from east of the Bay of Bengal seem to 

 yield a heavier wood than that grown in India. The average weight from seven 

 samples given by Gamble (Manual of Indian Timbers, p. Ill) from India is 43 lbs., 

 ■whilst four samples from oast of this bay give an average of 57 lbs. I cfmsidcr 40 lbs. 

 about the weight of the fully-seasonecl w-ood. It is a good wood. Kurz says the 

 tree yields a yellowish gum, and that the bark is good for tanning.
