Describes Quillaja saponaria, a rosaceous tree species found
on poor soils in semi-arid northern Chile. Collection of the
80
bark for soap products leads to the destruction of the trees.
The small seeds of the species germinate erratically, but
can easily be regenerated and the tree grows rapidly. The
inner bark containing sodium oxalate and about 150 g/kg
of saponins, is used for degreasing wool, shampoos, in pho-
tographic developers, and as an emulsifier of resins, gums,
and coal-tar for the pharmaceutical industry. A large part
of the present production is used in rocket fuels. Exports
from Chile declined from 2270 t in 1965 to 1069 t in 1971.

Describes a Chilean Department of Energy survey showing
that 48 percent of households use some wood for energy. A
study using an adiabatic chamber evaluated the efficiency
of typical wood stoves used in Chile. Under different op-
erating conditions the average efficiency was 9.0 to 37.2
percent under standard test conditions, with an estimated
13.1 to 54.2 percent efficiency under real conditions. En-
ergy savings are estimated if modern high efficiency stoves
and catalytic stoves with 60 to 80 percent efficiency would
be used.

charcoal to Altos Hornos Zapla. FAO Rep. Salta, Ar-

bajo. 11:91.
A report forming part of the UNDP forest inventory and
development project for north-east Argentina. A techni-
cal and economical analysis is made of alternative ways
of meeting the increasing demand for charcoal at the Alto
Hornos Zapla steel plant in Jujuy Province. Detailed rec-
ommendations are made on the method of charcoal produc-
tion (stressing the advantage of continuous vertical retorts)
and on the supply of wood for charcoal production.
