 REPORT OF MR. TAOHE. 
 
 of 
 
 of 
 
 As soon as I was directed, by the Canadian Commission, to prepare the collec- 
 tion of the productions of the waters and forests of Lower Canada, I studied the 
 best plan of rendering this collection as complete as possible. 
 
 I say as complete as possible ; because it is easy to understand that in the winter 
 months, and in the short space of time which occurs between the months of 
 December «nd February, it is a matter of impossibility to make such a collection 
 complete. Nevertheless, thanks to the intelligent activity of the fellow-laborers 
 that I associated myself with in this work, I am certain that this collection will be, 
 when taken as a whole, the most ample one yet exhibited. (The whole of this has 
 reference but to natural productions, the only ones which the Canadian Government 
 wished to take under its own superintendence.) 
 
 I have divided this collection into six heads, viz. ;— 
 
 1 ° . Specimens of trees and forest shrubs, with specimens of branches, leaves and 
 
 flowers, prepared for study. 
 
 2 ° . Specimens of commercial woods, in the usual market form. 
 
— 4 — 
 
 .'< <> . Sperimens of tlie natural prodtictious of tlio walers and foieste cmiiloyea i* 
 the arts and in pharmacy. 
 
 4- * . Specimens of the most useful species of fish in a preserved state. 
 
 .*) * . S|)ecimen» of productions derived from cetacea and fish. 
 
 a « . Specimens of the principal furs of the wild animals of Lower Canada. 
 
 The exhibition of the woods for study is composed of specimens collected at 
 ilillerent pomts of Lower Canada, as follows : 
 
 1 =• . Collection made at St. Joachim, in the neighbourhood of Quebec, the geo- 
 graphic centre of Lower Canada, latitude 47°, about 130 leagues from 
 the sea. 
 
 This collection, which serves as a basis to all the exhibition of the trees and 
 shrubs of Lower Canada, is composed of 66 specimens of woods, to which are 
 added specimens of branches, leaves and flowers. For this first collection we are 
 ...debted to tlH.. Abbe Provancher, c«r6 of St. Joachim, who l«s been kind enough 
 to place at my service his botanical knowledge, his labor and bis herbarium. 
 
 2 » . Collection of 54. specimens of wood obtained in the County of St. John, lat. 
 
 40 , the southern extremity of Lower Canada, about 200 leagues from 
 the sea, by Mr. F. X. Trieui. 
 
 3 » . Collection of 31 specimens of wood obtained at Rimouski, bt. i>S°, about 80

 waters of the lower part of the river, by Mr. J. B. Lepage.

 canton of Chauouingan, latitude 46" 30', about 170 leagues from the sea,' 
 by Dr. Dubord.

 « ° . Collection of 35 specimens of woods, obtained in the County of Chicoulimi, 
 lat. 48* 30', about 100 leagues from the sea, by Mr. D. IVice. 
 
 The whole of this collection comprises, in all, seventy-four distinct - .ccies and 
 varieties, which are nearly all to be met with, more or less abundantly, -. {],.• 
 whole surface of Lower Canada, with the exception of the extreme North. The 
 peculiarities of the Canadian forests have submitted to, and stiH do submit to, 
 geographical progressive changes very interesting to study. We may remark how 
 whole localities have seen the nature of their forest trees completely change ; it is 
 thus that in reading the ancient annals of the country we meet with perft^ctly cir- 
 cumstantial desci-iptio.is, which no longer answer to the woodland peculiarities of the 
 siimc places. A>: ...... Utu causes of these changes arc to be rcckoii«(I fires in the 
 
 woods, accidenls in waur courses, and, in level places of comparatively little extent, 
 inundations caused by the labors of the btav. ,■ tribos. 1 think that (iio whole num- 
 h,.r of spe,.,e. a,,-! varieties of trees and sl.iui.., i,. L„w.;r Canada amounts to about 
 
 f

 eighty ; tiiere will, tlierefoic, be wauling tVoiii Mveii to ten Hpecies and varieties to 
 inuku thai collection complete. 
 
 I iiuve had all these specimens prepared so as to show the wood covered with its 
 bark, and in longitudinal, Iransvcrsp, uikI oblicnu; suctions. I have had prepared, 
 with particular caro, 74 sptcimens, which may serve as a " point de depart" for 
 comparative studies. I have thought it best to preserve these specimens whole, 
 to divide them into two longitudinal sections, by a simple saw-cut throu'fh tiie centre, 
 re-uniting the two semi-cylinders by little brass hinges. 
 
 The specimens of the same species and variety bear the same number in order, 
 and the collection of each exhibitor is distinguished by the color of the little paper 
 marked with the number as thereon in the following catalogue. 
 
 I do not warrant perfect absence of error in this classilicution of the species and 
 varieties of the woods of our vast Canatlian forests. Botanical studies are, in our 
 young country, in their infancy, but there is reason to hope that, in a few years, they 
 will have made great strides. Let me in this respect be allowed to mention the 
 labors of the Abb6 Brunei. Professor of Botany in Laval University, now travelling 
 in Europe for the prosecution and development of this peculiar study, and those of 
 the Abb6 Provancher, (one of the exhibitors of this collection,) who has now in the 
 press a work on (Canadian Flora, which will be the most considerable work of 
 Natural Science in Canada which has been seen. 
 
 The collection of commercial woods is from two exhibitors, — Messrs. Duncan, 
 Tatton & Co., exhibiting a full collection of Canadian market timber, and Mr. G. 
 Gingras, of Quebec, exhibiting some choice specimens of sawn wood. 
 
 The beautiful exhibited collection of Messrs. Duncan, Patton & Co. has been 
 arranged under the care of Mr. W. (Juinn, Superintendent of Wood Inspectors of 
 the port of Quebec, and by Mr. F. E. Verrault, Inspector of Wood at Point Levi. 
 
 Messrs. Turgeon and Ouellet, of (Quebec, are exhibitors of preserved fish. Mr. 
 C. H. T6tu, of River Quelle, is an exhibitor of skins and oils of the cetacea and 
 fish of the lower part of the river. Mr. Olivier Giroux, Druggist at Quebec, 
 exhibits vegetable and animal productions in use in the arts and pharmacy. Mr. O. 
 C6te exhibits nineteen specimens of furs of animals of Lower Canada. 
 
 All these gentlemen have accepted with pleasure, and executed with zeal and 
 intelligence, the share of labor which I begged them to furnish toward the accom- 
 plishment of my task. The distance, the short time, the season, and the difficulties 
 of intercommunication have not allowed either these gentlemen or myself to do all 
 that we should have desired. The details of objects exhibited by each will be found 
 further on.

 The numbers of the preceding list refer to all the specimens of vf oods collected 
 for study as well as the specimens of branches, leaves and flowers. The color of 
 the paper, as I have already said, indicates the exhibitor of the specimen and the 
 spot whence it was obtained. 
 
 In comparing the woods of the commercial portion of this collection, wliich bear 
 other numbers cut in the wood (see catalogue) it will be seen which are the kinds 
 commonly worked and used in the arts. 
 
 The exhibition of London of 1851, that of Paris of 1855 especially, and the 
 recent journey to Europe of Mr, William Quinn, Supernitendentof Wood Inspectors 
 of the port of Quebec, sent by the Forest department of the oifice of the « Domaine 
 Public," have given so much information to European commerce, as to the value of 
 Canadian woods, that it would be useless to add anything to the preceding notes.

UPPER CANADA COLLKCTJON. 
 
 ^V^OODS, &o. 
 
 The Samples of Wood liave been collected from the extreme Eastern ami 
 Western, and Central parts of Upper Canada, for the purpose of shewing the ex- 
 lent of country over which the most valuable timbers grow. 
 
 1. The most important collection is in the form of Planks, twelve feet long 
 and four inches thick, with the bark on both edges, (^f these (sixty in number), 
 there are superb samples of White Oak, four feet wide ; White Wood, Black 
 Cherry, Black Walnut, Button-wood, White Asli, Sugar Maple and Soft Maple, 
 from three to four feet wide ; one plank of Tine, from the Township of Bayham, 
 twelve feet long (and it could have been cut fifty feet long) and fifty mches wide, 
 without a knot, sawn from a tree 22 feet in circumference and 120 feet to the first 
 limb ; the first four logs, twelve feet long, making 8,000 feet of lumber after being 
 squared. 
 
 2. The second class of Woods are sections of the trunks of the chief of the 
 valuable timbers, with the bark on, taken from the three divisions of the Province 
 above named. Of these there are thirty-four. 
 
 3. The third are neatly planed and polished specimens of all our chief Woods 
 — one side varnished, the other plain— veneers of the plain wood, of crotches, of 
 roots, Stc, of the most choice varieties. Of these there are two collections, each 
 of 73 specimens, with some smaller ones ; in all about 250. 
 
 4. The fourth class consists of the sections of the trunks (from three to six 
 inches in diameter), one foot long, with the bark on, so cut as to shew the grain of 
 the wood and the polish it will take, accompanied with twigs, leaves and flowers of 
 the trees In this class are five valuable collections, from the most distant parts of 
 Upper Canada, of some 90 distinct kinds of Native Woods and Shrubs. Of 
 these there are 203 pieces.

 The Coiiiiiioii mid ScieiUilic Names of all the Woods are given, with the size 
 and height of the trees, the specific gravity of the wood, its weigiit compared with 
 Shell-haik Hickory (which, beiiijr the heaviest of nil our woods, is taken as tJ* 
 •tatidard), its uses, prices at the Lake Torts and at fiiiehec, &c. 
 
 5. The fifth class contains samples of Tool-han<lles, Shafts and Poles of Car- 
 riages, Spokes, Naves, &,c., showing the common purposes for whiuli the Woods are 
 best adapted and most used. 
 
 Trom a I'amphlet iv,ued from the Hureau of Agriculture, at tjuebec, we learn 
 that Canada exports annually about 30,000,000 cubic feet of Timber in the rou^h 
 state, and about |.OO,O00,()()O feet, board measure, of sawn timber. Tlw revenue 
 derived by the I'loviiice, during- ISfiO, for timber cut in the forests, amounted to 
 about .*r)00,00(). Of the sixty or seventy varieties of woods in our fore-.ts, there 
 are usually only fue or six kinds which go to make up these exports so vast in 
 quantity ; the remiiniii|. fifty or sixty timber trees are left to perish or are burned 
 as a nuisance, to g.-t them out of the way. By showing, in the markets of the 
 world, that we have these valuable woods, and can furnish them at such ui.prece- 
 dente.lly low prices, we shall secure additional |)urchasers. The collections here 
 named, were made chi(illy in reference to this point, and are, in their nature and in 
 thuir iiitrin-,i(! value, il is believed, well adapted for that purpose. 
 
 fn extent, in the variety and value of its woods, the great forests of deciduous 
 trees of Xoitli America surpass all others; and the most remarkable of this great 
 mixed forest is that growing- in the valley of the St. Lawrence. The Western 
 coasts of both continents, in high latitudes, furnish only or chietly the Coniferte. 
 Tiie high summer temperatures and abundant summer rains, are, unquestionably, 
 those conditions of climate necessary to produce these peculiar forest trees. The 
 Western coasts of both continents, in high latitudes, have the necessary moisture, 
 but not the high summer temperature ; the Western prairies. East ol the Mississippi, 
 and the vast deserts West of it, have the summer heat hut not the moisture ; hence 
 the absence of all trees in the one region, and of the deciduous trees in the other. 
 
 If the people of this country had a more correct appreciation of the riches 
 which they possess in these mighty forests, they would not surely so unnecessarily 
 destroy them. 
 
 To those gentlemen wliose names ajtpear as contributors of the woods espe- 
 cially I am under the greatest obligations, and the country is indebted to them for 
 the part they have taken in making this collection so complete.

 inches in diameter, and found St inches in diameter in the western parts of Upper 
 Canada. Of the twenty varieties of Oaks in North America, the White is the 
 most valuable. The wood is of great strength and durability, and extensively used 
 in ship-building, for staves of casks, spokes and naves of waggon wheels, railway 
 ties, &.c» ; bark useful in tanning and in medicine. The timber is largely exported 
 to Kngland and the West Indies, and can bo furnished in the remotest parts of

 lands ; a large tree, 80 to 100 feet in height and 36 i;,che.s in diameter. The 
 timber .s coarse grained, strong, elastic, light and very durable ; posts of Chesnut 
 have been known to stand in the ground for forty years. The young wood is very 
 elastic, and is used for rings of ship masts, hoops for tubs, &c. Chesnut is distin- 
 guishable from Oak in having no largo transverse septa-though in every other res- 
 pect the two woods are remarkably similar in texture and color. The nuts pre 
 much esteemed, and sweeter than those of the European variety (fhe Spanish Ch..- 
 nuts.) Outside wood contains 4.5G per cent, of potash ; inside 2.73 per cent :

 If). Soft or White IMaple, Acer dasjjcarpum. 
 This species much resembles the last, but its leaves are larger, and its winged 
 ruit arger. It is common in all low, damp rich soils ; sometimes attains a diame- 
 ter of 4 feet, and a height of 80 feet. Not so abundant as the Hard Maple, nor 
 so valuable ; the wood is white and soft ; the bark is used for dyeing. As an orna- 
 mental tree, it is preferred to the Hard Maple, as having a denser foliage, and bein<. 
 ol more rapid growth. " 
 
 16. AViiite Ash, Fraxinus America}ia. 
 (Jrows abundantly throughout Canada, and attains an avera<.e heicxht of 110 
 feet, and 60 feet to the fi rst liml,, and 26 to 36 inches in diameter. The" timber is 
 
 • Tn estimating the value of the several kinds of Wood for fuel, the Shell-bark Hickorv

 much valued for its toughness and elasticity ; excellent for works exposed to sudden 
 shocks and strains, as the frames of machines, wheel carriages, agricultural imple- 
 ments, the felloes of wheels, &c., handles of implements, and for numerous similar 
 purposes. The young branches serve for hoops of ships' masts, tubs, for coarse 
 basket work, &c. It grows rapidly, and the young or m:o7id groicth wood is more 
 valuable than that of the old trees. Can be furnished in almost every part of 
 Canada for £3") sterling per 1000 cubic feet, and at Quebec for about £45. Spe- 
 cific gravity, 0.616 ; weight of cubic foot, 40 lbs ; value for heating purposes, 70. 
 
 17. Red Ash, Fraxmus pubescens. 
 
 A smaller tree than the "White Ash, of much rarer occurrence, and not so 
 valuable, but still a very valuable timber, resembling very much the White Ash, 
 and often confounded with it. The wood is also used for the same purposes. Spe- 
 cific gravity, 0.7 ; weight of cubic foot, 40 lbs. 
 
 18. Black Ash, Fraximis m^nhucifoUa. 
 Found in moist woods and swamps, grows to the height of 60 to 70 feet, with 
 a diameter of 2 feet ; the -.vood is tough and elastic, but much less durable than 
 W hite Ash ; the young saplings are in great requisitron for hoops, and mature 
 trunks for baskets. The timber is very durable under water. Specific gra\ity, 
 0.7 ; weight of cubic foot, 40 lbs. 
 
 19. PuM Ash, Celtis ocddentalis. 
 Grows to the height of 30 to 40 feet, and one foot in diameter. The trunk 
 has a rough but unbroken bark. The wood is very tough and used for hoops of 
 barrels. 
 
 21. Rock Elm, Uhmis racemosa. 
 Found in most parts of Canada, and grows very large in the Western Counties 
 averaging 150 feet in height, and 80 to the first limb, with a diameter of 22 inches.' 
 Is abundant in the "Western part of Upper Canada ; preferred to even U'hite Ash 
 by some carriage and waggon makers for the poles and shafts of carriages and 
 sleighs. The wood bears the driving of bolts and nails better than any other tim- 
 ber, and is exceedingly durable when continuously wet ; it is, therefore, much used 
 for the keels of vessels, water works, piles, pumps, boards for coffins, and all wet 
 foundations requiring wood. On account of its toughness, it is selected for naves 
 of wheels, shells for tackle blocks, and sometimes for gunwales of ships. It can be 
 laid on board of vessels at the ports of the lakes for £40 sterling per 1000 cubic 
 feet ; freight to Quebec about £11. Specific gravity, 0.59 ; weight of cubic foot, 
 36.75 lbs. 
 
 22. American or White Elm, Ulmiis Americana. 
 A majestic tree, attaining a diameter of 60 inches in some of the Western 
 counties of Tapper Canada, and of great height, with wide spreading branches ; 
 grows in most woods and along rivers, m rich soils. The wood is tough "and strong,

 23. White Beech, Fagus sijlvestris. 
 
 Grows in almost every part of Canada, of an average height of 110 feet, 
 height to the first limbs 50 feet, and diameter 18 inches. It is distinguished 
 trom the red beech by its size, the lighter color of the bark and wood ; it is also of 
 more difficult cleavage, of greater compactness and strength, and is much used for 
 planes and other tools of carpenters ; also for lathe-chucks, keys and cogs of ,nu- 
 chinery, shoe-lasts, toys, brushes, handles, &c. ; in architecture, for in-door work; 
 common bedsteads and furniture ; for carved moulds, for picture frames, and large 
 letters used m printing; it is easily worked, and may be brought to a very smooth 
 surface. Vast quantities of it used for firewood. Specific gravitv, 0.672 ; weight 
 ot cubic foot, il lbs.; outside wood contains 12 percent., inside 4 per cent.'of 
 potash. Value for heating, 65. 
 
 24. Red Beech, Fagus ferruginia. 
 
 The Red Beech is regarded by many as only a variety of the Beech, with the 
 
 wood softer and of more easy cleavage than the White, with also a slight difference 
 
 in foliage. The timber is not so valuable as that of the White Beech, but used 
 
 or the same purposes ; it is also abundant throughout Canada, The nuts of both 
 
 kinds are small, two together in the four-lobed burr, oily, sweet and nutritious. 
 
 25. Blue Beech, Carpinus Americana. 
 Common along streams ; grows 10 to 20 {^^i high, with ridged trunk ; an ex- 
 ceedmgly hard whitish wood; excellent for cogs of wheels and for purposes requir- 
 mg extreme hardness. The trunk is also made into brooms by being peeled by a 
 knife, and is the most durable and soft of the splint brooms. Specific gravity, 
 0.79 ; weight of cubic foot, 47 lbs. ; value for heating, 65. 
 
 26. White Birch, Betula alba. 
 Grows on the hill sides and banks of rivers ; a slender and beautiful tree of 
 from one to two feet in diameter and 50 feet high, but usually not so large. The 
 trunk is covered with a tough cuticle, consisting of numerous laminae, the outer of 
 which is snow-white. The wood is of a fine compact texture, tough but not 
 durable, and is used in turning and furuilure. Specific gravity, 0.5 ; wei.rht of 
 cubic foot, 32 ; value for heating, 48. * 
 
 27. Paper Birch, White Birch, 13, jx-ipyrucea. 
 A large tree with fine grained wood, and a very tough, durable bark, splitting 
 into paper-like layers. It is of the bark of this Birch that the Indians make their 
 canoes; hence the name, Canoe Birch. The wood is very siinilar to the last, and 
 used for similar purposes. There is also a dwarf mountain variety. 
 
— 36 — 
 
 28. Black Birch, Betula Icnta. 
 The largest of the Birches, 2 to 3 feet in diameter, and 60 to 70 feet in 
 hei<rht ; found over an extensive area, but more abundant in Lower than in Upper 
 Canada. The trunk is covered with a dark brown or reddish bark, which becomes 
 rough in old trees, and has a very agreeable aromatic flavor. The wood is of a 
 reddish color, strong, compact, and takes a high polish ; much used in furniture, and 
 almost as handsomely figured as Honduras I\tahogany, and when colored and var- 
 nished is not easily distinguished from it. It is used also by carriage builders, and 
 in frames of ships and parts under water ; it is more prized as it becomes better 
 known, as no wood sustains shocks and friction better than Birch. A good deal of 
 it is exported to Europe. The bark is harder than the wood, and used by Indians 
 and backwoodsmen for shoes, hats, tiles of roofs, canoes, &c. Specific gravity, 
 0.65 ; weight of cubic foot, 46 lbs ; value for heating, 65. 
 
 29. Yellow Birch, B. excelsa. 
 A lofty, beautiful slender tree, of 80 feet in height and 10 inches in diameter, 
 with a thin yellowish cuticle : not very abundant ; used for much the same purposes 
 as the Black and White Birches, and valuable for fuel. 
 
 30. Wild Black Cherry, C'crasus serotitia. 
 Grows to an average height of 120 feet, with trunk of uniform size and undi- 
 vided to the height of 70 feet in the forests, of an average diameter of 24 inches, 
 not uncommonly 36 inches, and found 48 inches in diameter. Not very abundant, 
 but found over extensive areas, not in groves, but in single trees interspersed in the 
 forests of deciduous trees, and springs up freely and grows rapidly after the primal 
 forests are cleared off. The timber, of a pale red brown, is compact, fine, close- 
 grained, receives a high polish, and is extensively used in cabinet work. The bark 
 has a strong bitter taste, and is ased in medicine as a tonic. The fruit, black when 
 mature, is pleasant to the taste. The timber can be furnished in the Western 
 part of Canada at £60 sterling per 1000 cubic feet ; freight to Quebec about £11. 
 Specific gravity, 0.56 ; weight of cubic foot, 34 lbs. 
 
 31. Wild Red Cherry, Cerasus Pennsylvanica. 
 Much smaller tree than the Black Cherry, of rapid growth, and found mostly 
 succeeding the original forests, attains 40 to 50 feet in height and 12 to 15 inches 
 in diameter. The flowers are white, the fruit red and very acid. 
 
 32. Basswood, Tilia Americana. 
 Common forest tree throughout Canada, of an average height of 110 feet, 
 height to first limbs 65 feet, and diameter 21 to 30 inches ; often much larger. 
 The wood is white, soft, close-grained and not liable to warp or split, much used m 
 cabinet work and furniture, in piano fortes and musical instruments, for cutting- 
 boards for curriers, shoemakers, &c., as it does not bias the knife in the direction ot 
 the grain ; it turns <leanly, and is much used in manufaciuriijg bowls, paib, shovelp, 
 &c. Cost, at the ports of the lakes, £37 sterling per 1000 cubic feet ; freight to 
 
— 37 — 
 
 Quebec, £1. Specific gravity, 0.48 ; weight of cubic foot, 26 lbs. Of the same 
 f^enus as the Lime or Linden in England. 
 
 33. White Wood, Liriodendron tulipifera. 
 
 Grows only in the Western parts of Upper Canada, and attains a height of 
 130 feet, 70 feet to the first limb, and 36 inches in diameter, and not uncommon 60 
 inches in diameter. Very abundant in the South Western Counties of Canada, and 
 can be furnished at £35 sterling per 1000 cubic feet, freight to Quebec £S. It is 
 called also the Tulip Tree ; and in some localities, erroneously. Yellow I'oplar. The 
 wood is extensively used as a subistitute for pine for building and cabinet purposes. 
 It is easily wrought, durable, and susceptible of a fine polish. Specific gravity, 
 0.5 ; weight of cubic foot, 30 lbs. 
 
 34). BuTTONwooD, Platanus ocddentalis. 
 
 Called also Plane-tree, and, improperly, Sycamore. Is very abundant in the 
 Western and South-western parts of Canada, attaining an average height of 120 
 feet, 60 feet to first limbs, and 30 inches in diameter, and not uncommon at 60 
 inches in diameter. It yields a clean wood, softer than Beech, very diflicult, almost 
 impossible to split. Sometimes handsomely mottled, used in furniture, chiefiy for 
 bedsteads, pianofortes, and harps, for screws, presses, windlasses, wheels, blocks, &c. 
 and immense quantities exported to Virginia for tobacco boxes. Prices and freight 
 same as for White Wood. Specific gravity, 0.5. 
 
 35. Poplar, Popidus moiuUfera, 
 Called also Cotton Wood. A large forest tree occurring on the margins 
 of lakes and rivers. The timber is soft, light, easy to work, suited for carving, 
 common turning and works not exposed to much wear. The wooden polishing 
 wheels of glass grinders are made of horizontal sections of the entire tree. The 
 seeds are clothed in white cotton like down, hence the name. Specific gravity, 0.4-. 
 
 36. Balsam Poplar, Popuhis kdsamifcra. 
 Also a large tree growing in wet low lands, wood resembling the previous. 
 None of the Poplars are used as large timbers. 
 
 37. White Willow, S(dix alba. 
 A familiar tree of rapid growth, attaining a beigbt of 50 to 80 feet ; originally 
 from Europe. The timber is the softest and lightest of all our woods. The color 
 IS whitish, inclining to yellowish grey. It is planed into chips for hat boxes, baskets, 
 &c. Attempts have been made to use it in the manufacture of paper ; small 
 branches are used for hoops of tubs, &c. ; the larger wood for cricket bats, boxes 
 for druggists, perfumers, &c. Specific gravity, 0. !• ; weight of cubic foot, 24 lbs. 
 
 38. Iron-wood, Ostrya Virijinica. 
 A small hlciider tree, 40 to 50 feet in height, and 8 to 10 inches in diameter. 
 The baik rennirkablo for its fine, narrow, iongitu'linal divisions, and of a brownish

 color. The wood hard, strong and heavy ; used for hand-spikes and levers, hence 
 the name Lever Wood; it is also called Hop Hornbeam. Found only sparsely 
 scutte ed through the forests of deciduous trees. Specific gravity, 0.7G ; weight 
 of cubic foot, 47.5 lbs. ; much prized for fuel. 
 
 39. White Thorn, Crataegus punctata. 
 
 A common shrub or small tree, 15 to 20 feet high and 6 inches in diameter, 
 found in thickets on dry rocky lands. Thorns stout, rigid, sharp, and a little re- 
 curved, 1^ inches long Flowers white, fruit bright n-r ■" and some varieties 
 white. The wood extremely hard, used by wood t -.v for mallets, &c. 
 
 ^Specific gravity, 0.75 ; weight of cubic foot, 46 lbs. 
 
 40. Black Thorn, Cratcegus tomentosa, 
 
 A large shrub or small tree, 12 to 15 feet high, thorns 1 to 2 inches long,, 
 found in thickets and hedges. Flowers large, fragrant and white ; fruit, orange red ; 
 wood hard, like White Thorn. 
 
 41. Wild Apple Tree, Pyrus corotian'ia. 
 A small tree, 15 to 20 feet high, common in the western part of Upper 
 Canada. Wood hard, like the thorn ; flowers large, rose colored ; fruit one inch 
 in diameter, yellowish, hard and sour, but esteemed for preserves. 
 
 42. Pepperidge, Nyssa mnltiflffra. 
 Found only in the Western part of Tapper Canada, and of an average height 
 of 100 feet, of 60 feet to the first limb, and of 12 to 18 inches in diameter ; 
 scarce. The bark light grey, similar to that of the WHiite Oak, and broken into 
 hexigons. The wood is white, fine-grained, soft, the texture consisting of interwo- 
 ven fibres, rendering it very difiicult to split. It is, therefore, useful for beetles, 
 naves of wheels, and for purposes requiring the toughest timber. 
 
 •13. Dogwood, Cornus florida. 
 Common in Upper Canada, grows 20 to 30 feet high and 8 inches in diameter. 
 The wood is very hard and compact, and hence the name Cornel from the Latin 
 Cornu, a horn ; used for mallets, and is well adapted for the same purposes as Box- 
 wood. It is so remarkably free from silex, that splinters of the wood are used by 
 watchmakers for cleaning the pivot holes of watches, and by the optician for re- 
 moving the dust from small lenses. The bark is rough, extremely bitter, and used 
 in medicine as a tonic. Specific gravity, 0.7S ; weight of cubic foot, 50 lbs. 
 
 44. White Cedar, Thuja occidentalism 
 Found extensively over Canada on the rocky borders of streams and lakes, 
 and in swamps. It grows to the height of 60 to 70 feet, rapidly diminishing in 
 hize, throwing out branches from base to summit. The wood is light, soft, coarse 
 araiiied, and very durable ; much used in frame work of buildings and for the upper 
 limbers of ships; as posts for fences, gates, 8tc. It is one of the most durable ol 
 
— 39 — 
 
 Canadian woods ; much esteemed also for making split laths, known as cyprus laths. 
 Specific gravity, 0.4;") ; weight of cubic foot, 20 lbs. 
 
 45. Red CEnAR, Juniperus Virginiana. 
 
 Grows in many parts of Canada in dry rocky situations. It sometimes attains 
 the size of 24 inches in diameter, but mostly smaller. Leaves are dark green, the 
 younger ones small, ovate, acute, scale-like, overlying each other. The wood is 
 fine grained, compact, of a reddish hue, very light and durable. It is used for 
 fences, aqueducts, tubs and pails, and as cases for drawing pencils, hence called Pencil 
 Cedar, 
 
 46. Hemlock, Abies Canadensis. 
 Common in the hilly, rocky lands of Canada, attaining the height of 80 feet, 
 and 3 feet in diameter. The timber is soft, elastic, of a coarse, loose texture, not 
 much used, but sometimes substituted for Pine ; resists well the effects of moisture, 
 and for this reason is used for railway tics. The bark is extensively used in tanning. 
 Specific gravity, 0.45. 
 
 47. Black Spruce, A. nigru. 
 This fine tree abounds in the higher and mountainous land of Canada, attains a 
 height of 80 feet. The timber is light, strong and elastic, and though inferior to 
 White Pine, is still valuable. From the young twigs, spruce beer is made. 
 
 48. White Spruce, A, alba. 
 A smaller tree than the Black Spruce, but attains a height of 50 feet. Trunk 
 from 12 to 18 inches in diameter. Timber much the same as that of the Black 
 Spruce. 
 
 49. Canada Balsam. Balsam Fir, AUes hahamea. 
 
 Common in humid grounds in the cooler latitudes of Canada, and attains a 
 height of 30 to 40 feet. The bark is smooth, abounding in reservoirs filled with a 
 resin or balsam, which is considered valuable in medicine. 
 
 50. Balsam Fir, A. Frascri, 
 A smaller tree than the last. A highly ornamental shade tree, 
 
 51, Tamarac, Larix Americana. 
 
 A tall slender tree, rising to the height of 80 to 100 feet, abundant in Canada 
 in low wet lands. The wood is considered very valuable, being heavy, strong and 
 durable. Called also American larch, and hackmatac. It has recently come into 
 great demand for ship building, and railway ties, for which latter purpose it is found 
 to be well adapted and very durable. The best Oak is superior to it only for the 
 outside work of a ship. For knees, bends, garlands, &c., of a ship, no wood is 
 better. It is remarkably distinguished from the Pines by its deciduous leaves, being 
 bare nearly half the year. It is found up to a very high latitude, even in Hudson's 
 Bay. Specific gravity, 0.6.

 52. Sassafras, Sassafras pfficinule. 
 Found only in the Western part of Upper Canada ; grows to the height of 50 
 to 60 feet, and 15 inches in diameter. The timber is of little value, but used for 
 light ornamental purposes on account of the fragrant odour. Every part of the 
 tree has a pleasant fragrance and an aromatic taste, strongest in the bark of the root, 
 from which an essential oil is distilled highly valued in medicine. Specific gravity, 0.6. 
 
 53. Sumac, Rhus typhma. 
 
 Common on rocky, poor soils throughout Canada, and readily springs up on 
 neglected lands after the primal forests are cleared off; attains a height of 20 feet, 
 and 8 inches in diameter; the wood is soft, aromatic, of sulphur yellow, makes 
 beautiful veneers, and is used in dying. The bark of this and the other varieties is 
 also used in dying and tanning. 
 
 The planks named in the accompanying lists are twelve feet long, four inches 
 thick, shewing the bark on both edges, and are from eighteen to fifty inches in 
 width. They are not specimens of the largest trees of the Canadian forests, but 
 fair samples, in quality and size, of timber yet growing over some 200,000- square 
 miles of territory. The circumstances under which they were collected— the two 
 months from the middle of December until the middle of February— rendered it 
 quite impossible to cull from the forest the largest timber. The samples collected, 
 under such circumstances, must necessarily shew the vast wealth of our magnificent 
 forests. 
 
 The planks sent by Mr. Skead, are from the Ottawa region, or Eastern divi- 
 sion of Upper Canada ; those by Mr. Laurie, are from the Lake Ontario, or Cen- 
 tral division of Upper Canada ; and the remainder from the Western part of Upper 
 Canada, West of the head of Lake Ontario.

 1 case stuffed native Ducks, 22 varieties ; 1 case containing 1 10 other Birds 
 (native,) stuffed ; 1 case containing 36 Fishes from the Lakes and Rivers of Upper 
 Canada. By S. W. Passmore, Toronto. 1 case containing 103 Birds found on 
 the Island of Montreal, by James Thomson, Esq., of Montreal. 
 
 The chief Fishes are the Salmon-trout, White Fish and Herring from Lakes 
 Huron and Ontario ; the Sturgeon, Maskinonge, Pike, Pickerel, Sucker, (White 
 and Black), Black Bass, Rock Bass, Sunfish, Perch, and several smaller varieties. 
 The first three kinds are found only in the large Lakes, Ontario, Erie, Huron and 
 Superior, except the Herring in one or two of the smaller Lakes ; the others, ex- 
 cept the Sturgeon, also swarm in great numbers in all the smaller lakes, and in 
 many of the smaller rivers. The Salmon from the ocean also ascends to the head of 
 Lake Ontario, 1,200 miles from the Atlantic. Great quantities of the Salmon- 
 trout and White Fish are exported, amounting in value to from $500,000 to 
 $1,000,000 annually. Samples, also, of the preserved fish, Salmon-trout, White 
 Fish and Herring from Lakes Huron and Ontario have been obtained.

 Three pieces of Iron cut ready for the Nail Machine. 
 A Chain of Cut Nails, bent when cold, shewing their extreme

 [The Victoria Iron Works were first opened for the manufacture of Nail Plate 
 from « Scrap" in 1859, but at the end of that year it was found that the quantity 
 of that nrticlc pmcurahlo in (liin cnunlry was inadequate to the supply ol the VTums, 
 f onse(iuentIy " Puddling " furnaces were erected, and have ever since been in

 operation. Plate manufactured during last year, 2000 tons. The Puddling Fur- 
 naces yielding per diem 10 tons : the remainder being made from Scrap. Men 
 and boys employed on works, 100. The coal used is from the "Albion" mines at 
 Pictou, Nova Scotia. The metal is " Cilengarnock" brand of Scotch Pig, and 
 the native Canadian Iron. The specimens sent are a fair average sample of the 
 Plate as it comes from the rolls. The ends only are sheared. Unlike the English 
 Nail sheets, the grain or fibre runs lengthways of the pbte and the nails are cut in 
 the same direction.]
