FRUIT & FORKST TREES. 



Ch'mghawang. An oil is extracted also from the 

 fruil of this tree, or Hie k< ruel, and i> n>t<l (i-r fl 

 kitchen by Malays, 



Kapayang, is a creeping plant used in dvi -nig, and 

 from the fniit of which a lamp oil is extracted. 



Kahmpang, is a tree the kernel of whose fruit also 

 Yields a lamp oil, as does the fruit of the U\» h live 

 celled Pcnagn. Bttah krtts, or Em belie Junius

 implies, of a high tree. 



BaUam. The fruit of this dark- wooded tree 

 also gives a lamp oil. 



G1TTAH, OR BIRD-LIME. 



This is made from a mixture of the viscid juices of 

 the following* trees ; the Julutung, the Arak a spe- 

 cies of Jiciw Indie us, the Jack and the Cherre/Jlorei 

 or Indian-rubber, small quantities of the Pulei ami 

 other trees. To render the mixture manageable, 

 cocoannt oil is added. The Malays, by their own 

 accounts, can do wonders with this lime, of which the 

 following hoax, asserted to have been passed off on a 

 tiger, is a specimen. A tiger having killed a man at 

 Siac, the body was left on the spot, and a large quan- 

 tity of bird-lime Mas disposed on and around it. All 

 around, at a few paces distance, chaff of paddie was 

 thickly strewed and more lime laid. The animal 

 returned to finish his repast and bis mouth and daws 

 were soon dogged by the bird-lime, while quantities 

 stack to his body. To get rid of this annoyance, he 

 rolled himself in* his rage on the chaff which soon 

 ^v eiled his body to a most portentous bulk j and 

 niter having exhausted himself in fruitless exertions 

 he was easily killed. This would seem an improve- 

 ment on American tarring and feathering.
