been successful in all localities. Out of a number of exotics, Turkey oak, American maple 

 and alder are growing well, catalpa and osier have given the best results and can safely be 

 regarded as successful, saffron plants have completely disappeared and Eucalyptus rudis 

 has not proven a success. European olive plants and cuttings have given fair success. The 

 usual formal tabulated statements are appended. — E. R. Hodson.

 60 pi. (photomicrographs). 1920. — In the lumber market of western Java, especially the Pre- 

 anger residencies, teak is scarce and does not occupy a predominant place. On this account 

 maDy other kinds of woods which occur in the mountain forests are used. The market dis- 

 tinguishes only three quality classes. Owing to the lack of knowledge concerning the char- 

 acteristics of these woods this practical guide for their determination is published. Following 

 a popular description of the elements of wood structure, each of the 78 kinds is described 

 under the headings, general impression, appearance, detailed characteristics by use of hand 

 lens, nature of extract, and burning. Of the 28 families represented the following contain the 

 most important species: Dipterocarpaceae, Fagaceae, Hamamelidaceae, Lauraceae, Legumi- 

 nosae, Magnoliaceae, Malvaceae, Meliaceae, Myrtaceae, Rubiaceae, Taxaceae, Theaceae, 

 Verbenaceae. — F. Kramer.
