Page 37 - ... forests in the interior of Siam, might become of importance, were their qualities for naval or civil architecture, or as woods proper for ornamental purposes, sufficiently known. I would mention, amongst others, the Takieng, which, as far as regards size and quality, might become a rival to the teakwood, possessing, moreover, the great advantage that it may be easily bent by artificial means. Very little is known of the tree which produces the Takieng, and I think it deserves a closer examination,...
Page 37 - Morinda citrifolla; and I have seen silk cloth, manufactured here, of a green colour, which, I was given to understand, was extracted from a vegetable substance procured in the forests of the interior. This green dye had much more lustre than sap-green ; and if it be really a vegetable production, it deserves further inquiries. The wood of a species of mangrove yields a red colour ; and the bark of the common kind (Rhizophora Mangle) is used in tanning, and a small quantity of it is exported. Several...

Page 37 - ... I have seen, at the building sheds of the first king, a log of that wood, which was being prepared for the construction of a warcanoe, measuring 135 feet, perfectly sound and without a flaw. This wood is brought from the south-eastern provinces, and generally used for planking the bottoms of ships. It ought likewise to be stated, that trees belonging to the Pine genus are not uncommon, principally on the eastern coast of the Gulf of Siam, which might furnish liquid bitumen for the preparation...
Page 37 - Sappan), of which large quantities are exported. It is the spontaneous produce of the forests of the northern provinces of Siam and the frontier hills dividing that country from Tenasserim. It has been asserted that the roots of this tree afford the dyeing matter in a much larger quantity than either the trunk or the branches. There are enormous forests of this wood in the upper parts of the country, and down the west coast of the Gulf of Siam. The greater part of the supplies brought to Bangkok...
Page 38 - North. Large forests of teak exist on the Burmese boundaries. The logs, when dry enough to float, are made into rafts and floated down the rivers to Bangkok, where they are usually sawn up. The most suitable form for exportation is planks five inches in thickness. The supply has almost entirely ceased, owing to the high prices and scarceness of wood. The tree is now fully 50 per cent, higher than it was in former years. A number of woods, the produce of the forests in the interior...

Page 37 - THE vegetable productions of a country of such vast extent as Siam, lying under the tropics and favoured by periodical rains, are very numerous. Rice, sugar, and pepper are, however, the staple articles; the first serving not only for home consumption, but a large quantity is exported to China. Several varieties of rice are raised; some account as many as forty, but four species are principally cultivated: namely, the common rice, of a white colour, much resembling the rice of Carolina ; the mountain-rice;...

It must, however, be understood that it is only the heart of the tree which can be employed for such purposes : its outer part (and this is likewise the case with the tree which furnishes the beautiful letter-wood of Guiana, which belongs, according to botanical classification, to the same family as the jack-tree) is soft and useless....

The cultivation of the sugar-cane has greatly increased. It is mostly in the hands of the Chinese. The extraction of the juice of the cane and its manufacture into sugar are carried on in a very...
