Some fine planks of teak, from Rangoon , nearly 3^- feetwide, are exhibited by Mr. McDowell (p. 888); thesewere deemed deserving of Honourable Mention. Teak isa light-brown, porous, and quick-growing wood; itderives much of its value from the aromatic, oily sub-stance with which it is more or less saturated in the freshstate. A very interesting series of examples of teak wood,formed by Mr. Seppixgs, of Calcutta , is contributed fromthe Naval Department of the Honourable East India Com-pany . It consists of 72 specimens from various localities,and the weight of each, per cubic foot, has been care-fully ascertained. From the experiments of Major H.Campbell, it appeal's that the density of teak wood variesfrom 0*594 to l)'87G, according to its quality and themode in which it is seasoned; whilst Captain Baker foundit to vary from 0*631 to 0*792. It is evident, however,from the following table, which shows the results of Mr.Sepping’s experiments, that the specific gravity of teakvaries considerably more, not only between the wood of dif-ferent forests, but even indifferent parts of the same beam.
