" NEW SOURCE OF TURPtNTINE Tree in Central India to Be Looked To for Supply of Really . Good Quality. Turpentine oil and rosin are already being produced on i\ commercial svale In India by the distillation of pine rosin. A new source of supply which, though comparatively small, may he valuable, especially for Indian use. has now been found in frankincense or 'otibanum. This material is obtained by the natives by making incision j in the stems of Bosweilla serrftta. a tree tfhtefy distributed throughout the dry zone forests of Central India. The resinous substance which exudes from the cuts contains a kind of turpentine, a rosin and a gum. Investigations of the methods of sep arating these constituents In a market able form have been conducted since lOlii by the fore*t authorities in India In co-operation with the Imperial In stitute. and the results have been pub lished recently In a paper by It. S. Pearson, forest economist, and Puran Singh, chemical adviser, at tin4 Forest Research institute, I>chra Dun, The general conclusion reached, based on the results of numerous trials.
