1 86 TIMBER AND TIMBER TREES. [CH. xxv, 



THE MANGALO TREE. 



This is a brown-coloured, porous wood, strong, and 

 moderately heavy. It is used for beams in ship-building, 

 in carpentry, and in the domestic arts. Judged by the 

 specimen, the quality appears to be fair, but little is 

 known as to its durability. 



THE PAO-SETIM TREE. 



The wood is bright yellow in colour, with a clean, 

 fine, straight grain ; looks as if it would work up well, 

 and is chiefly used for the manufacture of small wares. 



THE JACARANDA-CABIUNA TREE. 



This is a dark-coloured, porous, open-grained wood ; 

 in appearance it somewhat resembles an inferior quality 

 of Rosewood. It is of moderate weight, and works up 

 well for furniture and for ornamental purposes. 



THE VINHATICO TREE. 



The wood is yellow in colour, light, open-grained, 

 and is probably of inferior quality. It appears to be a 

 species of Cedar, and is used by the cabinet-maker, and 

 for many purposes in carpentiy.
