plain. It would take a high polish, and, except for the 
almost total absence of “figure” to give it beauty, it 
would be valuable for the manufacture of furniture, or 
any ornamental purposes. The Kranji is chiefly used in 
Borneo for ship and house-building, but would be useful 
in a general way, and seems likely to prove fit for many 
of our requirements.

Remarks.— Nos. 1, 5, and 6 broke with very long fracture ; 2, 3, and 4 much shorter, 
and scarph like. 
Only one piece of Kranji was tested for tensile 
strength, and that proved equal to a strain of 10,920 lbs. 
on the square inch. None were tried under the vertical 
or crushing strain.
