by Miss Josephine Huppertz, a graduate student in the School 

 of Botany of the University of Texas. The writer also acknowl- 

 edges his indebtedness to the various published works of others. 

 The notes of Mr. J. B. Mackenson of San Antonio, on the ' ' Trees 

 of San Antonio and Vicinity" and of Mr. Carl Hartman on "The 

 Trees of Huntsville" have been freely used. The characteristics 

 and uses of the various woods have been based, in part, upon a 

 report of "The Wood Using Industries of Texas" by Hu Max- 

 well, Expert, and Charles F. Hatch, Statistician of the United 

 States Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, published in 

 the Lumberman's Trade Journal, New Orleans. The arrange- 

 ment of the groups is essentially that of Engler and Prantl.
