8. Caprea, Linn., is grown in Northern India, usually from cuttings, as in the 

 gardens at Lahore. Braudis gives 27 to 39 Ibs. per cubic foot as the weight according 

 to Nordlinger; Mathieu, Fl. For., p. 405, gives 27 to 45 Ibs., while the experiments 

 made by Captain Cull, R.E., at Kandahar, give, if the determination of the species is 

 correct, with bars 1 ft. X 1 in. X 1 in., Weight 32'2 Ibs., P = 641 (Indian Forester, 

 Vol. v. p. 480). 



S. alba is also cultivated in the Western Himalaya. Brandis says the wood is soft, 

 white near the circumference, yellow or brown towards the centre ; the medullary rays 

 are fine and numerous ; the pores very numerous, fine and uniformly distributed, the 

 annual rings distinctly marked by a dark line. He gives the weight as 26 to 33 Ibs. ; 

 Mathieu, Fl. For., p. 393, gives 24 to 38 Ibs., while Captain Call's experiments, if the 

 species is correctly determined, give 27'7 Ibs., P = 602. 



Wood soft, even-grained, white or light red. Pores small, numerous, 

 rarely subdivided, uniform and uniformly distributed, except that in most 

 species they are more numerous in the inner belt of the annual ring. 

 Medullary rays numerous, fine, uniform. Medullary patches frequent. 

 The species can hardly be distinguished by the structure of their wood.
