Cases 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. — These cases contain the 
cereals and legumes of Russia. 
This is probably as complete a collection of the species and 
varieties of the agricultural seeds of that country as can be found 
in any Museum in the world. 
Case 11. — Turpentine industry of Russia. 
This case contains the commercial products of the distillation 
of pine. 
COREA. 
Cases 11 A and IIB. — collection of the woods, cereals, nuts, 
and dried fruits of this peninsula. 
A comparison of the woods of this country with those of Japan, 
will prove interesting. 
JAPAN. 
Cases lie, IID, and HE. — The fibers, tobaccos, and teas of 
Japan. 
Case 12. — Specimens of insects injurious to useful plants of 
Japan. 
This beautiful and highly scientific collection showing the suc- 
cessive phases of insect development, as well as the injury caused 
by them to the plants upon which they feed, was prepared for ex- 
hibit in the Japanese section at the Exposition, but on account 
of lack of space was not unpacked. 
Cases 13 A, 13B, and 13C.— The construction timbers of 
Japan. 
This set of specimens is particularly interesting to the student, 
as each wood is accompanied by a portion of the bark, and by 
illustrations of the foliage and fruit. 
Wall. — Among the specimens here exhibited is a comprehen- 
sive series of the commercial timbers of the country in plank, 
square, bark, and panel. Each species is accompanied by an il- 
lustration of the foliage characteristics similar to those in connec- 
tion with the construction timbers. Many specimens represent- 
ing their utilization may be seen. At the south end are three na- 
tive paintings showing timber operations in Japan; these are par- 
ticularly interesting on account of their similarity to those carried 
on in this country.
