TIMBERS. 559 
This wood emits a most offensive odour when burning, hence 
its vernacular name. Only timber of very small diameter can be 
obtained, and even this is usually rent and shaken. Two slabs in 
the Technological Museum, which have been seasoned over 
twenty-five years (having been exhibited at the London Inter- 
national Exhibition of 1862), have weights which correspond to 
551b. 40z. and 56lb. 70z. respectively per cubic foot. It is of a 
dark yellowish or brown colour, and polishes very well. This tree 
is an indication of poor soil. Diameter, 3 to 4in.; height, 10 to 
12ft.
