In the case of other rubbers, all of which have a tendency 
to tackiness, the writer suggests that this depends to

TREtS ATTACKED BY TERMES GESTROI. 
A planter in Johore sends some notes on a piece of 
ground much infested by Terntes Gestroi. He notes that 
the prevalence of Termes Gestroi in hilly land, alleged by 
Mr. Pratt, is hardly in accordance with his observations. 
It has not, he writes, “ taken me long to find out that 
Termes Gestroi have their special hill and special lowland 
trees. Just outside my fencing (hills) are three Teruntang 
trees riddled with Termes Gestroi. I have seen this tree 
attacked in swamps as well. In forty acres I destroyed 
some hundred logs of Teruntang, each of which had a 
a nest of Gestroi. ” He gives the following list of trees in 
which he found nests or traces of nests of Termes Gestroi.
