Has. Malacca Ching. Malacca Nhinghull: Mr. Lewis 
: informs me that in some of the islands of the Indian Archi- 
pelago a species of Canarium yields all the oil used by the 
 Anhabitants, Jan. 27th, 1845. 
BS. In one instance I observed a tendency to develope all 
. the parts of the ovarium: i. e. fruit, in equal-trilobus. This 
can scarcely be a species of Canarium, and it does not 
Come near any other of the characters. 
CH The small number of stamina is not of much consequence, 
i but the shape of the fruit is different.
