 resembles Thyt-si, but is not so red aiul uot iiuito so licavy. My speeimen was

Thyt-so-ay-Ie . . . Schrchera sirieioiiuides, Roxb 47 



Kurz recommends this wood as hard and durable, and as not given to warping. 

 Gamhle says the wood is " durable, works freely, and does not warp or split." 



Thyt-to (Botanical name unknown) 35 



Very pule reddish-grey, easy to dross and rather close-grained. Seems suitable 

 for indoor carpentry and ordinary furniture. 



Touk-kyau .... Tcrmimilia crenulala, Kutli 70 



Dark brown, close-grained, hard and durable. An excellent first-class timber 

 for all purposes, too heavy perhaps for ordinary furniture, though handsome, and, 

 allowing for its hardiu-ss, not difficult to work. Gamble says 57 lbs. is its average 

 weight ; but this is far too low. 



Toung-ben .... Artocarpm chaplaxha, Roxb 34 



Pale reddish-brown, rather coarse grain, but easily worked, and .suitable for 

 furniture and general carpentry pui-poscs, where no great strength is required. 



Toung-gan-gor . . . (Botanical name unknown) 7.5 



Pale yellowish-brown, very close-grained and intensely hard. One of the 

 strongest, hardest and most durable woods known, and a first-class wood for all 

 pui-poses calling for strength and dui-ability. It is a very handsome wood as well, 

 taking a superb polish. I do not think either Kurz or Gamble notice it.

 light carpentry, and a rather handsome wood. See Ka-la-mat.

Toung-tha-le . . . Garcinia A'ydia, lloxb 40 



Very pale brown, rather fine-graiued and easy to work, and seems adajited for

under exposure to the weather. 



Tseit-ki or Tsoit-che . Briedelia rettisa, Spreng 39 



Pale brownish or greyish. A somewhat coarse but strong nseful timber fiu- 



house carpentry. Its name ' goaVs-dung ' is due to the spotted appearance the ])lanks 



display, whcu one of the imbedded dark woody thorns with which the young tree is 



armed" is cut through, these thorns in section bearing a fanciful resemblance to a 



dried currant, or to goat's dung.
