TIMBERS. 417 
Wood white, close-grained, and firm. (Hill.) ‘It appears 
that if properly cut it would yield an excellent figure for cabinet- 
work.” (furors’ Reports, London International Exhibition, 
1862.) This description may be supplemented by saying that its 
usual colour is something between drab and flesh colour ; it has 
a pretty wavy end-grain; it dresses excellently on the face, but 
not on the end-grain. Two slabs of this wood in the Techno- 
logical Museum, which have been seasoned over twenty-five years 
(having been exhibited at the London International Exhibition of 
1862), have weights which corresponds to 38lb. goz. and 5olb. 
80z. per cubic foot. These determinations have been carefully 
made, and the author has no reason to suppose that the woods are 
mis-named. No date as to the respective ages of the trees, or as 
to the parts of the tree whence the slabs were taken, are in my 
possession. Diameter, 12 to 24in.; height, 50 to rooft. 
New South Wales and Queensland. 
222. Dissiliaria baloghioides, 7.v.47., N.O., Euphorbiacez, B.F1., 
Vi., gO. 
“ Teak.” The ‘‘ Currungul”’ of the aboriginals. 
Timber hard, close-grained, and durable; brown in colour, 
becoming darker towards the centre; might be useful for any 
purpose to which the English apple is put, and which the wood is 
thought to resemble. (Cat. Queensland Timbers, Col. and Ind. 
Exh., 1886.) Diameter, 18 to 30in.; height, 40 to 6oft. 
Queensland. 
223. Dodonaea attenuata, 4. Cunz., (Syn. D. Preisstana, Miq.) ; 
N.O., Sapindacez, B.FI., i., 477. Incl. under D. viscosa in 
Muell., Cens., p. 25. 
Specific gravity of the wood, 1.022. (Report, Victorian 
Exhibition, 1861.) 
All the colonies.

longipes, G. Don); N.O., Sapindacez, B.FI., i., 474. 
“Hop Bush” (the name for all species of Dodonea). “ Kinjenga-
