09(5 BCIUIA, ITS PEOPLE ASP) PliODUCTIOXS. 



Hpet-lc-zin .... (Botanical name unknown) 55 



Veiy pale brownish. Runs small, but useful for light carpentry. 



Htouk-sha .... Vifex leucoxylon, L 38 



Pale brown, rather open grain, soft, and easily worked, but deficient in strength 

 and readily decays. A very inferior wood. Kurz describes it as 'durable.' If so, 

 it would do well for furniture ; but I believe it to be the reverse. 



Jio Schhichera trijwja, Willd 68 



Pale browu, very hard, close-gr.dned, and lasting. A handsome wood when 

 polished, but usually of rather small scantling. Valuable for all purposes demanding 

 hardness and strength. 



Jio-b5 Wahxira viUosa, W.A 61 



Heartwood purplish, very hard and strong. 



Jok Diosptjrus cordifoUa, Rosb 45 



Very pale brownish, and of rather coarse fibre, adapted for ordinary purposes. 

 No dark heartwood, or only in aged trees. This is of coiu'se the ' Chope-pen ' 

 of Kui'z. 



Ka-thyt Enjthrina oralifolia, Roxb 23 



A very light open wood, adapted for some of the purposes to which cork is put, 

 as buoys for nets, etc. Kurz applies tliis name erroneously to Pentace Burmayiica, 

 Kz., a heavy red wood. 



Kam-la (Botanical name unknown) 43 



A tree loving salt or brackish water. Very pale brown, grain moderate!}' fine, 

 and fit for ordinary purposes. 



Ka-la-mat . . . '. Conlla fragraniissiina, Kz 47 



A fragrant brown wood much prized by tlie Burmese. Kurz identifies it as 

 above. Gamble, however, applies the name Toung Kalamnt to this species, reserving 

 (as I understand the reference, Manual, p. 322) the name Kalamat for a species of 

 Santaliim. I question if Toung kalamat refers to a Cord/a, and think Kurz un- 

 doubtedly right, and still less likely is it that either apply to a Santaliim. 



Kal-o-we .... Cinnamomuin ohtusifoliiim, N.E 42 



Very pale brown, grain moderately fine, seems adapted for planking and 

 ordinary uses. 



Ke-u-e (Botanical name unknown) 89 



Pale brown, grain fibrous and open, suitable for coarse planking and packing 

 cases. 



Ka-ten (Botanical name unknown) 63 



Pale orange-brown, like a pale mahogany, grain close ; works up well, and 

 when polished is a very handsome wood, and well adapted for ornamental furniture. 



Ka-thyt (Botanical name unknown) 42 



Reddish-brown, grain rather fine, but a little feathery. A soft, easily-worked 

 wood, adapted for most purposes for which Cedar is used, but not for pencils. 



Ka-sha-we .... (Botanical name unknown) 38 



Yellowish-brown, grain rather coarse, but when dressed looks well, and seems 

 suitable for planking and light carpentry. 



Ka-na-zo, or Pyn-le-ka-na-zo Heritiera littoralis, Diy 66 



Brownish-red, close-grained, hard and difficult to work, but very strong and 

 imperishable. It is closely allied to th(^ Bengal ' Siiiidri,' one of the toughest woods 

 known, and is highly deserving of attention for all purposes demanding strength 

 and durability. The wood seasons slowly.
