Motes on Dipterocarpaceae, 
Anisoptera, 
1. Compare material of A.glabra Kura with A.thurifera (Blco.)®1. 
I believe them to be the same, 
2. C.F.647,from Megri Sembilan,differs from any other Anisoptera 
in our collection. Is it the same as the A.laevie*-, of Ridley’s 
list ? 
Balanocarpus. 
1. Balanocarpus Hemsleyanus King,- It looks to me as though this 
species and C.F.Ho*4001,from Pahang,belonged to the section 
Brachyptera of the genus Shorea. They .are apparently included 
by Ridley in V achyclilamys, 
2. Balanocarpus anomalus King and B.latifolius Brandis are unknown 
to me.Would it be possible to get photographs of the typesof 
of these two species and of B. Wrayi King ? 
Dipterocarpus, 
1, Are D.Duperreanus and D.Scortechinii the same ? 
2, Are the types of any of our local species available at Kew ? 
Dryobalanops. | 
1. Is it possible to get duplicate material of any of the Borneo 
species for comparison with our local forms ? 
Hopea. 
1, Hopea albescens Ridley.- It is dcEired to get a picture of the 
type if possible. 
2, Hopea Lowii Dyer - A picture of the type is desired. The Singa¬ 
pore specimen labelled with this name seems to be the same as 
the “Ciam" of Pahang and Johore. 
3. Hopea Mengarawan - The type of this is probably at Leyden. Is 
there any authentic material at Kew? 
4. Hopea multiflora Brandis - Is ther any duplicate material of 
this available *? 
Parashorea , 
Is it possible to get a photograph of the type of Parashorea 
stellate? 
Shorea. 
1, Duplicate material or photographs of types are desired of,- 
Shorea scutulata,S.glauca,S.gratissima,S.Ridleyana,S,Maxwelliana 
S.pauciflora,S.Kunstleri,S.oiliata,S.alba,S.barbata,S.utilis, 
g^ costata,and S.Thiseltoni. 
2. My present notions of the wood of the different species are as 
follows 
Hard,brown or yellow woods,-S.glaucajS.materialis^.colli- 
na,S.ciliata,S.barbata,S.utilis,B.costata. 
Bofte whitish,yellowish or pinkish v. f oods,of the grade of 
Meranti;-B,Maranti,S.eximia, S.leprosula,S,rigida f S.seri- 
cea , S.parvifolia, S.acuminata, S, ma,croptera,S.bracteolata, 
and,possibly,S.Thiseltoni. 
Moderately hard,red woods;-3.Gurtieii,S.scutulata # S.gra- 
tiosima,and the new species called w Meranti Kait-Kait w
