high.
          Batter - i.e. receding slope from ground upwards – approx-

imately 15 mills. per one metre vertical.

          It is constructed of ten separate members and sections:- 

The roof in two separate sections; the cavetto cornice and 

roll moulding in four separate members; two side sections, 

comprising the/<a> chief beam or frieze, panel and dado; one 

end section, consisting of two corner posts, chief beam or 

frieze, panel and dado; and one front section, which in-

cludes the chief beam or over door frieze, two corner posts, 

a sill, and two folding doors.

          The roof sections have their central meeting edges rebated, 

and for convenience of transport as x[?]/<w>ell as for lowering them 

on to the cornice members to which they are tongued, they have 

each four (two on each side) silver coated copper handles of 

staple form (see fig. .. ). Their tongues are made of wood 

and copper, alternate.

          The four members of the cavetto cornice and roll moulding 

are tongued (<of> wood and copper alternate) to the chief beam or 

frieze of the side, end, and front sections (see fig. .. ). 

The repeated ornament of their over hanging hollow moulding 

seems to have been derived from temporary wattle and daub 

palm leaf fencing. The tips of the palm leaves projecting 

above the fence being blown by the wind into an over hanging 

curve. The roll moulding is evidently the top horizontal

rail of the fence, bound to the vertical stems to hold them 

in place.

          The four sections of the under-structure are constructed
