Appendix. lxxi 



Of the accompanying specimens of Bark, No. 1 is stripped from 

 a bush of average size, and the thin 'outer brown bark has been 

 removed. 



Nos. 2 and 3, are cords which have been made by hand from 

 bark, without other preparation than drying for one day in the sun, 

 and they would, of course, have been much finer had they been 

 machine made.
