Plate I. 



An Avenue in Buitenzorg Lined with Java Almond Trees (Canarium 

 indicum Stickm., S. P. I. No, 43024). 



The stately Java almond, generally acknowledged to be cne of the most beautiful of avenue trees, 

 yields an abundance of large-kerheled edible nuts, similar to the piii nut of the Philippines. The 

 oil from this nut has been used by certain Dutch doctors to make an emulsion for an infant food, 

 and its possibilities as a special oil for infant feeding deserve study. Seeds have been secured for 

 trial in the Panama Canal Zone. (Photographed by Dr. M. Treub, Buitenzorg, Java, Feb. 10, 1909.)
