| Notes: | Label source: (Letter 65, 1922: XIV.p.208) Piece of Oak from the Spanish Armada Galleon sunk in 1589 in Tobermory Harbour, Isle of Mull from Col. Kenneth Mackenzie, 4 Clifford Road, Bexhill on Sea. An examination of the specimen does not make it possible, to determine where the timber was grown. Italy is suggested, on the strength of a slight apparent probability that the wood may be Quercus conferta, Kit. A better sample, if it happened to consist of more quickly grown timber, would be more favourable fo, r identification, but it does not appear likely that the question could be solved.
