Borneo produces several other species of trees, 

 including the Tanjan, Meraha, Mirabeau, Panjan, and 

 the Kampar. These all attain good building sizes, and, 

 judging from the sample logs sent with the Chow, &c., 

 to this country, I am inclined to think they would be 

 found useful and valuable for constructive purposes. 



THE MOLAV& TREE ( Vitex geniculata*) 



is found in the Philippine Islands, and, judged by the 

 parcel of 6 to 8 loads of selected wood imported here 

 in 1863 or 1864, is of straight growth and moderate 

 dimensions, although, according to Blanco, it is "very 

 often crooked."
