and tears. It has obviously high refractive power, and is much 
like ordinary pine resin in taste, smell, and outward appearance, 
when the latter is freshly exuded. When the resin is older it 
becomes quite hard and brittle, and if allowed to remain some 
time on the trees becomes of a mealy appearance on the outside. 
Powdered, they all make fairly good ‘‘pounce,’’ and form an 
efficient substitute for ordinary sandarach.

When fresh, it is of a yellow colour, and strikingly similar to 
sandarach, as it is usually found in America. It is obtainable in 
fairly large quantities.

A resin in larger tears than an ordinary sandarach is yielded 
by this tree. It yields it in considerable abundance, eight or ten 
ounces being frequently found at the foot of a single tree, but 
although this exudes naturally, the supply is stimulated by 
incisions. . 
In the Report on Indigenous Vegetable Substances, Victorian 
Exhibition, 1861, it is thus described :—‘ A transparent, colour- 
less or pale-yellow body, fragrant and friable, fusing at a moderate 
temperature, and burning with a large smoky flame, very soluble 
in alcohol and the essential oils, and almost totally so in ether; 
turpentine at the ordinary temperature does not act upon it, nor
