character of such an exhibit. The cost of securing and 
transporting large wood-sections from distant regions is so 
great that anything like a complete representation of the 
trees of the world cannot be undertaken under present 
conditions. A number of small collections have been pre- 
sented by exhibitors at international fairs, and our own 
collectors have secured many specimens. All of these are 
arranged consecutively, in the order of their botanical 
sequence.
