INDO-MALAYAN WOODS. 
413 
already used by me, viz, very heavy, heavy, moderately heavy, and light. 
Unless specially indicated the weight has been determined in Manila. 
Some of those listed in the heavy class are frequently found to furnish 
examples that are properly described as very heavy. I have indicated 
this by italics in the table. 
As indicated in the table, the light woods are relatively few. Some 
of them, however, are found in considerable quantity. The table will 
not show all of the woods which will sink when green. Many of those 
in the heavy class are heavier than water when green. The number of 
woods which are really heavier than water when absolutely dry is relatively 
very small. Those woods of the very heavy class which are actually 
heavier than water when dry are indicated by italics. Some of those 
not so marked may occasionally have a weight in excess of that of water.
