A COMPARATIVE TABLE OF WEIGHT AND SPECIFIC GRAVITY

[table]

PS:- The writer of this Essay wishes to return his best thanks to
those few gentlemen who so kindly and promptly responded to his
appeal to them. He would most particularly thank His Honor the
Superintendent of Auckland (Robert Graham, Esq.,) and the Chief
Provincial Surveyor of that Province, (C. Heaphy, Esq.); also the
gentlemen composing the Chamer of Commerce at Wellington. To
Mr Heaphy he is largely indebted for much useful information on
Colonial (Economic Botany, as well as for that portion of the First
Table containing the Weight and Specific Gravity of Woods, and the
whole of the last Table herein given.
