A CATALOGUE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT NEW ZEALAND 
WOODS, CLASSIFIED ACCORDING TO THEIR PROPERTIES 
AND .USES. 
In the following catalogue an attempt has been made to arrange the different 
woods in the order of their respective values for the purposes indicated at the 
head of each section: the results, however, can only be regarded as approximately 
correct, on account of the conflicting evidence with regard to the properties of 
certain kinds, and the absence of detailed knowledge concerning others, It is 
therefore desirable that in every case reference should be made to the detailed 
statements of Properties and Uses given in the body of the work :—
