with ahum,- sambulauan, and a little narra and amaga. The nana and amaga 

 are small trees and scarce. 



The forest of Mount Manghilao. — Mount Manghilao is part of the coast range 

 of hills and lies close to the towns of Danao and Carmen, showing prominently. 

 Its elevation is about 2,250 feet above the sea. The remaining forest rests on 

 the rockiest part of the top and partly down the rocky slopes, which in places 

 are cliffs. The forest has been subjected to excessive cutting in the past and to 

 considerable destruction by caitVgins. It is a tangle of vines, saplings and small 

 trees with a few scattered large trees of lauan, manaog, nipot-nipot and nato. 

 There are present, as in all of these mountains, a large number of tree species, 

 few of which are valuable. A part of this forest may be called merchantable 

 here, although in better timbered regions it would be nonmerchantable. First- 

 group trees are practically wanting. What is really called for in this forest is 

 absolute protection for many years. 



The forest of Mount Lantauan. — This mountain is a sharp peak of volcanic 

 rock, so rocky and precipitous that some good timber still remains because it is 

 so difficult to cut. In places the forest is fairly dense and of good sized trees, 

 chief among which are white lauan, duca, nato, maobog, lanete, narra, bagtican 

 and ditaa. On this mountain considerable mine timber can be cut without serious 

 silvicultural damage to the forest.
