| No. 5. | Hinau (Dicera Dentata) ............ | 60 | 1·9 | 1·9 | 562 | 1·6 | 6 | 4·2 | 1470 | Both specimens good of the sort. The wood has very little power of resisting compression; and being light is probably not durable. |

| | | | | | | | | 1500 mean. | |
| No. 6. | Miro (Podocarpus Ferruginea) ...... | 60 | 1·9 | 1·9 | 957 | 6½ | 1·6 | 7½ | 1837 | This is apparently a very good wood. The first specimen broke at a knot; the second was a very clean specimen. |
