Elasticity and transverse Strength 
Augt, 
Dha'bah, abundant, yields timbers of 25 to 30 feet, five to six feet girt; a 
very strong and elastic but heavy wood, a good deal like the Panjar, and may be 
applied to the same uses. 
Bha'nji, a dirty brownish colour ; abundant ; little used and not much known; 
may answer for felloes of light wheels. 
Teko'li, abundant; yields timber 25 to 30 feet long, five to six feet girt; 
opaque reddish yellow, used for light furniture, boats, and doors; has little strength ; 
may probably answer well for picture flames, and waiuscotting, and panelling. 
Thengan on Sengan, produced in the new eastern provinces, and yields 
timber from 30 to 45 feet, five to six feet girt ; used for the same purposes as Teas, 
than which it is considered more durable; used for boats, by the Chinese for junks; 
colour, a reddish saul ; a strong and elastic wood, admirably adopted for the gun- 
carriage department. 
Thaba n, dull, straw colour, used in bouse building and boats ; produces timbers 
of 35 sometimes as long as 70 feet, a good wood for planking and pannelling. 
Pye.vc-ma or kha-mung-ni — of pale cedar colour; furnishes good crooked 
timbers for ship building, for which purpose it is exported from Rangfin to Ben- 
gal, supposed by some to be of similar species to red Jarrfil, and well calculated for 
guncarriagc purposes. 
. K AD- WOT, pale saul colour, yields very large timber for masts and keel 
pieces 46 to 73 feet, of light structure. 
. h a n /, a karro, a heavy but durable wood, something like the Pyeng-ma both 
m colour and structure ; used for house building purposes, and grows to a large size. 
Ana, a heavy but certainly not a tougli or elastic wood ; said to be much 
prized, for its durability, amongst the Burmese, and used in constructing royal build- 
ings, religious edifices &c. ; of the Jack wood genus. 
Tha-gat-ni or za-gat-ni, is a heavy durable wood, cedar red, chiefly appli- 
ed to house building purposes ; yields timber of about 50 feet maximum length. 
bAUL H oot), from the Baggri jungle, north of Mednipfir, dwarf tree, of a 
close even structure, finer in appearance even thun the Morung timber, and nearly 
as strong.

The specimens were seven feet long, two inches square, and the distance be- 
tween the supports six feet. 
The numerical values of C. (cohesion) in the second column of the Table, denote 
cohesive strength in pounds avoirdupois of one square inch sectional area 
of the several woods. They are the mean of four to six results.
