SOME BRITISH EMPIRE TIMBERS

Abstract

UNDER the auspices of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, the Forest Products Research Laboratory has issued a War Emergency Supplement to the“Handbook of Empire Timbers”published in 1939, edited by Mr. H. A. Cox (London : H.M. Stationery Office, 1943). In Part 1 some additional information on many of the timbers already dealt with is given, especially in connexion with insect attacks, though in the case of teak the data given have been known for many years.
