* Caoutchouc is obtained from the inspissated juice of severalother plants besides 
the jatropha elastica ; as from a creeping plant in Prince of Wales’s Island, and 
from another plant in Sumatra, called by W. Roxburg, M. D. urceola elastica.— 
The Abbe Rochon imhis Voyage to Madagascar, printed 1791, says, they have a 
plant csWt&Jinguere, a kind of wild fig-tree, which 'produces by incisioii a milky 
juice, which, when coagulated, becomes a true elastic gum, like the caoutchouc ; 
that they make flambeaux of it which burn without wick, and give a good light 
in their nocturnal fishing :—and a fossil hath lately been discovered in the the East 
Indies exactly resembling the caoutchouc resin in all its principal properties (except 
that the cohesion of its parts is weaker) ; it is chiefly found amongst spars and 
fead-ores; a small quantity of which hath also been lately found in Derbyshire,
