Presents three condensed theses with English summaries.
1.Teixeira, L. L. Botanical, dendrological, and anatomi-
cal identification of the wood of six woody species from
southwest Parana. (Identificacao botanico-dendrologica
e anatomica da madeira de seis especies euxiloforas do
sudoeste Paranaense). Describes the potential of the fol-
lowing species for solid wood and paper making: Casearia
inaequilatera, Ilex brevicuspis, Piptocarpha angustifolia,
Lamanonia speciosa, Sloanea lasiocoma, and Vernonia
discolor.
Teles, A.A.; Paula, J.E. de. 1980. Wood anatomy of Vi-
rola sebifera Aubl. and Pseudobombax tomentosum (Mart.
and Zucc.) A. Robyns in relation to their technological uti-
lization (Estudo anatomico das madeiras de Virola sebifera
Aubl. e Pseudobombax tomentosum (Mart. et Zucc.) A.
Robyns visando o seu aprovietamento technologico. Brasil
Florestal. 10(42):25-34, 35.
Describes a study of the wood anatomy of Virola sebifera
and Pseudobombax tomentosum in relation to their use for
pulp and paper.
Valente, H.M.; Rique, T. 1960. Chemical analysis of
the wood of “pino de cerro” Podocarpus parlatorei Pilg.
and ‘aliso del cerro’ Alnus jorullensis var spachii (Regal)
(Winkler) and their possibilities for making pulp (Estudio
quimico de la madera del “pino de cerro” Podocarpus par-
latorei Pilg. y ‘aliso del cerro’ Alnus jorullensis var spachii
(Regal) (Winkler) y sus posibilidades para la fabricacion de
pulpas). Buenos Aires, Argentina: Administracion Nacional
de Bosques. Notas Tecnologicas Forestales. 12:5.
Wandel, E. 1984. Firing of rotary kiln with wood powder.
In: Egneus, H.; Ellegard, A., eds. Bioenergy 84. Proceed-
ings of a conference; 1984 June 15-21; Goteborg, Sweden.

Describes the use of wood powder fuel, in Brazil, for lime
reburning kilns at pulp mills and for cement kilns in Brazil.
Wood waste, bark, and low quality wood chips are used
for the powder. The processes from grinding the powder
through drying and burning it are discussed, including
equipment, power consumption, safety measures, and com-
puter control. A best method of production and burning is
discussed, as is a rotary burning unit.

vice, Southern Forest Experiment Station. 11 p.
Describes timber trade to Puerto Rico from mainland USA
for the ten-year period 1971 to 1981.
Worrall, J.; Burley, J.; Palmer, E.R.; Hughes, J.F.
1977. The properties of some Caribbean pine pulps, and
their relationship to wood specific gravity variables. Wood
and Fiber. 8(4):228-234.
Describes average yields, burst factor, tear factor, and ten-
tative overall values for Pinus caribaea pulps. P. caribaea
pulps were generally better than those for P. patula, P.
sylvestris, P. taeda, and southern pine, and inferior to those
of Pseudotsuga menziesii. The pulp properties of Pinus
caribbaea varied considerably between trees, and the varia-
tion was not significantly related to density variation. Den-
sity and fiber length together accounted for approximately
67 percent of the between-tree variation in pulp properties
in P. caribaea.

calyptus. Japan Tappi. 2:53-57.

Unasylva. 29(117):9-11.
Describes a cooperative research project by the Forest
Products Laboratory, Madison, Wisconsin, aimed at full-
scale production of forest products in the lesser developed
areas of the tropics. The program was designed for the de-
velopment of economic processes for making pulp, paper,
and related products from naturally occurring mixtures of
tropical hardwoods. Results were presented at an interna-
tional conference on improved utilization of tropical woods
held at Madison, Wisconsin on May 21-26, 1978.

improved utilization of tropical forests; 1978 May 21-26;

ture, Forest Service, Forest Products Laboratory: 542-569.
Describes an economic analysis of the increased use of trop-
ical woods for pulp and paper, based on results from cur-
rently operating pulp and paper mills, laboratory trials,
and pilot studies.

lecting and breeding for desirable wood. Tappi. 66(1):
70-74.
Describes the variability of wood properties and their
causes, while emphasizing the desirability for uniform wood
properties in structural and pulping use. Discusses the tree
improvement work being done in Brazil on eucalypts.
