of Lebanon.

or Atlas Cedar o/<(>C. atlantica Manetti), the wood of these two species 

not being readily distinguishable by their structure.

          The wood of Cedrus Libani is suitable for cabinets, internal 

work, carving, etc. (Boulser/<.>).

          The Cedar of Lebanon if/<s> found in Syria (Lebanon), in Asia 

Minor (Taurus and Anti<->Taura/<u>s ranges) etc., while the Atlas Cedar 

occurs in Algeria and Morocco (Elw.).

 

 

                   nos. 239 (two gold-faced pieces); 207 (cross-tongue tenon 
                   from outermost shrine).

                   Is cross-tongue right here? The specimen 
                   was labelled "Tenon from first (outermost) 
                   sepulchral shrine."
