Description, 

 construction. Neither moisture, heat, 

 teredo nor white ants affect it. It is 

 practically everlasting and is held in 

 highest esteem by the natives. It is 

 yellowish in color. An inferior spe- 

 cies of this tree called female Molave 

 grows in low marshy ground. Its 

 color is whiter and it is not so strong. 

 Has a yellow wood often con- 

 founded with Maugachapuy and is 

 frequently used in substitution for 

 that wood. 



Is often used as a substitute for 

 Banaba when that wood is scarce. 

 Dark in color; used for interior 

 carpentry, floors, etc. 



Hard, reddish brown in color, not 

 much used. 



A very hard wood similar to 

 Lignum-vitae. 



Very similar to Guijo, can be ob- 

 tained in logs 50 feet by 20 inches; 

 yellowish in color. It is used in 

 house construction, for masts and 

 decks of ships, and for all work ex- 

 posed to sun and rain. Is quite 

 elastic and very durable. 



Strong, tough and elastic ; gives 

 logs up to 70 feet by 24 inches ; used 

 in naval construction, also for car- 

 riage wheels and shafts, reddish in 

 color. It is not much used in build- 

 ings as it is liable to attack of white 

 ants. 



Can be obtained in logs 30 to 40 feet 

 by 24 to 30 inches square dark red 

 in color, very similar to mahogany 

 in appearance. It is used for furni- 

 ture and was formerly much used in 

 house building, but it is now con- 

 sidered too valuable for that purpose. 

 It is widely diffused over the islands, 

 but has been cut so extensively that 

 it is now found principally in the in- 

 terior of the forests. 



Very similar to the red Narra, but 

 not so dense and lighter in color, and 

 not so highly valued. Found iu the 

 same localities.
