NOTE. 
In this Catalogue the better known local names of the principal 
kinds of timber trees are given, as well as the scientific 
names. The conflicting statements as to the value of some of the 
timbers are explained by the differences caused by the climate 
and character of the soi of the locality from which the specimens 
were taken, and the time of the year when the tree was felled. 
Many more determinations of the yield of charcoal, potash, pyro- 
ligneous acid, etc., and of the weight of a cubic foot of each 
variety of wood must be made, before a reliable average can be 
taken. 
The following is a list of the more generally used popular 
names. The repetition of the same number indicates the recur- 
rence of different popular names under the same species. A 
plurality of numbers opposite a name denotes its recurrence as 
applied to different species.*
