and elastic. It is white, and nicely veined by numerous wavy lines 
radiating from the centre. Diameter, 12 to 15in.; height, 50 to 
6oft.

201. Cupania serrata, /.v.J/., N.O., Sapindacee, B.FI., i., 458. 
A rather light, clear-working wood, which polishes well, and 
reminds one very much of beech, but it is much more porous than 
that wood. It does not work well on the end-grain. A slab of 
this wood in the Technological Museum, which has been seasoned 
over twenty-five years (having been exhibited at the London 
International Exhibition of 1862), has a weight which corresponds 
to 36lb. 80z. per cubic foot. 
New South Wales and Queensland. 
202° Cupania xylocarpa, A. Cunn., N.O., Sapindacez, B.FI., 
i., 459. 
Called ‘‘ Marsh Hickory” in Queensland, and “ Wootorie” by the 
aboriginals of the Richmond and Clarence Rivers (New South Wales). 
Timber close-grained, and hard, particularly so when dry. 
(Moore.) It is tough, and of a light-yellow colour, the grain 
resembling lance-wood ; it would be useful for making tool 
handles. (Cat. Queensland Woods, Col. and Ind. Exh., 1886.) 
The samples under my charge are of the ordinary pinky-brown 
colour, peculiar to Cupania timber. It is apparently a useful wood 
for ordinary purposes, but seems to have nothing specially to 
recommend it. A slab in the Technological Museum, which 
has been seasoned over twenty-five years (having been exhibited 
at the London International Exhibition of 1862), has a weight 
which corresponds to 42]b. 10z. per cubic foot. Diameter, 12 to 
24in.; height, 40 to soft. 
New South Wales and Queensland. 
203. Cuttsia viburnea, 7.2.17, N.O., Saxifrageze, Muell. Cens., 
p. 48. 
Wood white, close in the grain, and very tough. (Caz. 
Queensland Timbers, Col. and Ind. Exh., 1886.)
