This is perhaps the light- 
est of the durable woods, 
its habitat is on high 
lands. It is difficult to 
saw. It is the sparrow 
jack, sinks in water, 
yields a gum. Breaking 
weight of a specimen 
2’ bVl” by 1”, 2 cwts. 
50 lbs. 
This is a very hard and 
durable wood, but it is 
very difficult to 5 work, 
sinks in water. A spe- 
cimen 3” by IV’ by 
1V\ broke with 030 lbs, 
Somewhat similar in ap- 
pearance to old English 
oak, a very s u p e r i o r 
wood, polishes well, and 
is very durable. Used 
for furniture and cabi- 
net work. The average 
breaking weight of a 
specimen 3’ by 14” by 
IV’, was 578 lbs. 
Dark colour, something 
like Honduras Mahoga- 
ny, takes a good polish, 
it is excellent for house 
fitting, buoyant in 
water. 
Is a species of Palm, the 
wood is valuable, it is 
very hard and fibrous in 
its facture, durable. 
Much superior to the pre- 
ceding.
