I must not omit to make here special reference to 

 the " Odoom " tree of the Gold Coast — where it is 

 " fetish " — known as " Oroko " in Lagos {Chlorophora 

 excelsa). To those Colonies this wood is invaluable, 

 as it can withstand for years not only the weather, 

 but also the attacks of the "white ant." It is used 

 widely for building purposes, as beams, planks, 

 window-framing, shutters, shingles ; also in furniture.
