Several species show promise under- planted under high forest, but the Spanish- cedar is outstanding. A sawmill here has made an excellent Gtart in studying the properties and working characteristics of some of the lesser known Brazilian woods. Logs are being supplied from the Curua Silvicultural Study Area. The silvicultural studies being made at Curua, like the studies at Santarem, are being conducted by the FAO Forestry Mission in cooperation with the Brazilian Forest Serv- ice. The basic pattern of study at Curua is essentially the same as in Surinam: improve- ment of the high forest by eliminating weed trees, striving for natural regeneration of the best native species, and enrichment planting under the native high forest; at the same time studies are being made on a limited scale on the establishment of pure plantations. Bigleaf mahogany, Spanish-cedar, and Ca- rapa have all shown promise in the under- plantings. Many of the more than forty species test- ed in pure plantings are promising, but cupi- uba (Goupia glabra Aubl.), jacaranda, and simaruba are outstanding. Several eucalypts have shown their usual rapid growth but have.
