DAMMARS, 
The sources of some of these dammars is even at present very 
obscure. They are mainly classified and named in the trade by 
appearance and colour. A considerable quantity is found in the 
ground of the forests, where it has exuded from the big trees often 
after they have fallen, and it is quite impossible to guess from 
what kind of tree they have come. Much dammar is also obtained 
by the natives in the following way: — Large square holes are cut 
in the side of the tree and the bottom of the hole is scooped out so 
as to form a cup. A fire is lit in the hole and allowed to burn for 
some time. The dammar then exudes into the hole, and is col- 
lected from the cup-shaped lower part.
