ana aenniteiy settled, and it may be hoped that Mr. Ridley may 

 find time to do it. Of the other species, the most common is 

 evidently S. ferrugineum, Hook. & Am., a small tree which 

 extends also to Burma, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the 

 Archipelago, and even to the Philippines and China. 8. firmum, 

 Pierre, has only been once collected in the Peninsula, but extends 

 to Bangka and the Philippines. The other two species are 

 Peninsular only, S. Maingayi, Clarke, and 8. Derryanum, King 

 & Gamble, the last-named found so far only in Perak. None of 

 the species of this genus are recorded as yielding gutta percha.
