are Lignum VUcb, Incense Cedar, Quebracho, and a particularly 
fine specimen of Orange Mulberry, 
A complete collection of dyeing and tanning barks, fiber plants, 
charcoals, and curious llanos may be seen upon the shelves and 
walls. 
Cases 31 and 31A. — Medicinal Plants of Paraguay. 
Cases 31B and 31C. — Fiber Plants. This collection is 
particularly rich in Bromeliads. 
Cases 32 and 32A. — Economic and Medicinal Plants, 
Cases 34. — Paraguayan Seeds, Cereals, and Oils. 
BRAZIL. 
Case 34A. — The Woods of Santa Catharina and Espiritu 
Santo. 
Though the specimens in these collections are small they rep- 
resent a very complete and highly valuable series, and are es- 
pecially useful for study, and comparison with the other states of 
Brazil. 
Walls and Center-piece. — Commercial woods of Brazil. 
The color forms of the Brazilian “Pine” {Araucaria) here ex- 
hibited compare well with the useful forms of Cryptomeria of 
Japaii — forms, it is true, that are due to diseased conditions, but 
highly ornamental and useful. The beautiful Pao Ai^iarello can- 
not fail to attract and please. This species will doubtless be 
largely exported in the future, as it has attracted very favorable 
notice here. 
Case 35. — The woods of Pernambuco. 
Case 35 A. — Woods of Ceard. 
Wall. — The woods of Parana. 
This set is one of the most complete and uniform wood collec- 
tions sent here from Brazil, and represents a large outlay of time 
and money. 
Cases 36 and 36A.~ Bast fibers. 
Notable in this case is the wonderful “natural oakum,” a 
bast that requires but slight preparation to fit it for the calking 
\ron.
