Mr. Brown — It is used in Jamaica for cogs, 



Chairman — I wish that some member wouh! prepare some cut sec- 

 tions of woods for examination, fixing them on glass with oil or glue- 



Mr. Brown — -Boxwood is used for cuts. There are two kinds, one 

 for engraving, scales, rules, ornaments., &c., is sometimes a tree of 

 fifty or sixty ieet highland one and a half feet in diameter. Another 

 from the Mediterranean is yellow. Toys and instruments are made 

 of it. Apple and pear tree wood are preferable to the latter for 

 engraving. Box shrinks.
