roundwood, chips, sawn wood of Pinus radiata and rauli
(Nothofagus procera), particle and fibre boards, plywood,
veneer, and paper in Chile for the years 1966 to 1977. Data
are presented in tables and graphs, and the changes during
the period are discussed.

A pulpwood supplier, two paper manufacturers, and an

Anon. 1978. Basralocus (Angelique). Bois et Forets des
Tropiques. 178: 17-28.
Describes Dicorynia guianensis which is found in Brazil,
French Guiana, and Surinam. Logs, lumber, wood anatomy,
and physical, mechanical, and chemical properties are de-
tailed. The wood has a high shrinkage, is medium heavy,
and hard to medium hard, with a high content of silica
which makes it very abrasive. The logs are durable in ma-
rine use but are not durable in soil contact, and are not
treatable with preservatives for prevention of decay. Pulp-
ing trials indicate that though the silica content is a disad-
vantage, it is suitable for pulp.

three months of the year. Chilean Forestry News. 88:4-5
Describes the exports of timber and pulp and paper prod-
ucts from Chile in the period January to March 1985. The
value in US dollars for all products was $77,076,790. The

by radiata pine sawn wood. The largest importers were
S. Korea and Japan. A total of about 50 countries bought
Chilean wood products.
