To determine the value of the inner " rossed " bark of this sample, the 

 outer portion was removed until a comparatively smooth surface was obtained, 

 the bark had thus been reduced to about half its original thickness. This 

 " rossed " bark gave the following results

Remarks. 



Taking a radius of 50 miles around here, it may be 

 said that pines only grow on the sand ridges, or 

 the base of other middle ridges. The pine is not 

 very plentiful about here. I should think it does 

 not cover more than one two-hundredth part of 

 the above radius. 



Timber. — The average of full-grown trees is from 

 50 to 70 feet ; diameter 12 to 18 inches, some 

 few measure 2 feet. 



Resin. — They do not exude much resin unless 

 wounded. Both species yield about the same 

 quantity. 



IVIr. R. L. Moore, Manager, Angledool Station, in- 

 forms me that he has used the resin in the 

 making of candles, and that it answers admir- 

 ably. The resin is first reduced to a fine powder 

 and then thorouglily stirred in with hot liquid 

 fat, and the candles made in moulds. The fat, 

 however, should not be allowed to boil. (A. 

 Paddison.) 



Occupies I to 20 acres. (Alfred Pritchard.) 



Covers one-third of the area of the district. 



(V. N. Walker.) 

 Grows in flat country in detached clumps, varying 



in extent from i to 20 acres. (J. Davis )
