SHOWN AT THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. 2f)l 



Similar applications of the root of this plant are also found in the collec- 

 tion of M. Javal, previously alluded to ; they constitute another of the 

 products obtained from his plantations. 



Amongst the heterogeneous materials submitted to this jury were fans 

 for ladies' use, in consequence of their having some portions of wood 

 (bois d'eventail). In this department the fans of P. Duvelleroy are most 

 beautiful ; the carving of the handles is exquisite, and the general deco- 

 rations of the finest specimen are in the highest style of art. M. Duvel- 

 leroy exhibits fans varying in price from- nearly 2,000 francs to one sous 

 each. 



The French Colonies are rich in illustrations of forest products. 



In Algeria very beautiful specimens of the wens of the Algerian 

 Thuya (Callitris quadrivalvis, Vent.) rivalling the beautifully mottled 

 Kyabouca wood of the East, are exhibited by Henri Costerisan 

 (Oran), Dufour and Co. (Algiers), Amadeuf (Oran), and Dr. Warnier 

 (Algiers). These enormons wens, in some cases over two feet in dia- 

 meter, are cut for veneers, which are used by the Parisian manufacturers 

 in the construction of various elegant objets <f ' ebenisterie, choice examples 

 of which are shown in the collection of this colony from Messrs. Becker 

 and Otto, M. Duthoit, Messrs. Jouby and Guibert of Paris, and M. 

 Marechal. 



M. Lambert, Inspecteur des Forets a Bona (Constantine), exhibits 

 a remarkable collection of 104 sjjecimens of wood, representing very 

 completely the products of the Algerian forests, both as regards the 

 ligneous and sub-ligneous plants. The woods are labelled with French 

 and scientific names, which we give below, and they are accompanied by 

 other series, showing the twigs, leaves, flowers, &c, giving perfect means 

 for the identification of the species. The following is the list :
