as a source of pulpwood. Details are given of an inventory
of an area of Amazonian forest near Manaus, showing the
amounts of 43 named species present (388 other species
present were not considered). Data are given on fibre di-
mensions and chemical analyses of each of these 43 species,
and results are presented from sulphate pulping of these
species in individual cooks and in representative mixtures,
easy mixtures, and difficult mixtures. The results indicate
that the average dry wood density is high (0.94) but that
any mixture can be pulped satisfactorily (22 percent NaOH
and 2.2 percent S). Estimates are made of the amount of
bleached pulp that could be manufactured from this forest
resource.

Papermaking characteristics of the bamboos of the State of
Acre (Caracteristicas papeleiras dos bambus do estado do
Acre). Act a Amazonica. 7( 4) :529-550.
Describes the bamboos: Guadua angustifolia, G. glomerata,
G. morim, G. superba, and Nastus [Cenchrus] amazonicus
with physical characteristics of the woods and properties of
chemical, semichemical, chemimechanical, and mechanical
pulps derived from them. These species may be used to
make pulp and paper, especially paperboard.

Pinus oocarpa Shiede introduced into the Amazon region,
Brazil (Essencia papeleira de reflorestamento. III. O Pinus
oocarpa Shiede, introduzido na Amazonia). Acta Amazon-
ica. 13(3/4):547-582.
The pulping characteristics of Pinus oocarpa were exam-
ined to determine its suitability for future reforestation
programs. The chemical analysis of wood samples, den-
sity, classification of pulp fibers, pulping assays, testing of
bleaching processes, and analysis of physiomechanical prop-
erties of pulps are reported. Author concludes that this
species produces suitable pulps and should be considered
for future Amazon reforestation projects.

sapwood–a forestry residue with possibilities of industrial

Reports data for the period up to 1976/78, on difficulties in
Argentina’s quebracho tannin extraction industry. The in-
dustry, since 1937 has been in a decline in production, due
to competitive tanning materials. The suggestion is made
to use the sapwood of quebracho (Schinopsis) for pulp fur-
nish based on pulping studies with Kraft pulp. Where high
physico-mechanical resistance is not required papers may be
suitable, and could supply about 15 percent of Argentina’s
pulpwood requirements.

tributors. Part 1: forest resources of Peru; roundwood pro-
duction, marketing, imports and exports; time and costs
in timber extraction operations; the lumber industry, pro-
duction, prices, transport costs, marketing, imports and ex-
ports; the flooring industry; the plywood industry, exports;

durability, preservation, nailing properties, suitability for
decorative veneers, possibilities for pulping, and extrac-
tive contents. Conclusions and recommendations are also
provided.
