(or " cats'-eye resin ") and " Dammar Batu.

Motley's specimens vary a little in the breadth of the leaf. He sends them under two 
names, viz., as the " Rock Dammar," a very large tree with furrowed bark, hard wood 
turning brown when cut, yielding sparingly a white resin, and one of the best timbers; 
also as the tree yielding " Dammar mata Kuching," " of no great diameter, but tall, with 
smooth buttresses, deeply fissured bark on the trunk, wood hard, light vello wish-brown, 
durable, easily worked; the resin exudes in large lumps from the trunk and brandies." 
Of other Bornean Dipterocarpea? there are 
1. A small-leaved Dlpterocarpus ? described by Motley (Labuan, No. 143) as a hard heavy 
oily wood, much valued for masts and otherwise in ship-building. The brandies 
are rather slender, covered with a minute ashy pulverulent tomentuin ; the leaves 
3 inches long, on long petioles, glabrous, elliptic-lanceolate acuminate, obscurely 
waved at the margin, veins straight, 6-8 on each side of the costa, forming an angle 
of 45° with it, and joined by fine transverse veinlets. 
2. Vatic a sp. ? ? " Dammar frutik," from Low, quite indeterminable. 
3. Vatica? A handsome plant sent by Low, with elliptic- oblong coriaceous leaves 
6-8 inches long, scattered stellate hairs on the ramuli and panicle, and fruit with 
three linear-oblong wings 5 inches long. 
4. Vatica ? " Bunk Tansaman," Low ; yields a useful oil. A noble species with stout 
annulate branches ; linear-oblong leaves a foot long, cuneate or cordate at the base, 
minutely pubescent on the costa and veins below ; branching, flexuous, pubescent 
panicles a span long.— Bracts oblong, pubescent, f inch long. All the sepals of the 
young fruit are enlarged. 
5. Vatica ? Labuan, Motley (204). 
6. Hopea ? Labuan, Motley (116). Common " Dammara hitam." Yields a dark resin. 
Is apparently the same as 115, Labuan, Motley, " Salangan Putik." 
7. Hopea? Motley (37). "Dammar Tritain" or Black Dammar. Yields most of the 
Dammar of the Malay countries. 
There is further enumerated, in Blume's « Mus. Bot. Lugd. Bat.,' Shorea avails, Bl. 
\Vatica, Korth.). a native of Borneo.
