What reading level is Catalogue of the Exhibits of British Guiana With Notes book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Gr. . 96.
29 26. DAKAMA-BALLI (Vouacapoua americana).
This tree grows plentifully near the water; its average height is about 80 feet, and it will square 20 inches free of sap. The wood is little used. From the seeds of the Dakama-balli a starch is extracted which is considered very efficacious in cases of dysen- tery or diarrhoea. The Indians, when their cassava fails, use the starch mixed with decayed wood to make a kind of bread. The bark is used for tanning. Sp. Gr. . 780.
27. GREENHEART, o...r BIBIRU (Nectandra rodicei. Schomb. ).
There are three varieties of Greenheart, yellow, black, and mainop, all most serviceable and durable woods, if cut when arrived at maturity. Greenheart is one of our tallest forest trees, and logs can be had from 18 to 24 inches square, and 70 feet long. It grows in clay soil near the rivers and creeks, and not over extensive tracts of couiitry like Bullet-tree and Wallaba. Owing to the great demand for this timber and the want of legal restric- tion to prevent the cutting of the young trees by woodcutters and charcoal-burners, it is becoming extremely difficult to pro- cure good Greenheart, and its preservation is worthy of the atten- tion of the legislature.
