THE SOUTH TRANSEPT. 
The cases on this transept are in course of installation with 
the product of various families of greater economic importance, 
those completed include two cases of grasses (Gramineae) , two 
of the Bean family (Leguminosae) , and one of the Amarylls 
(Amaryllidaceae ) . 
CASE 42.— This case contains a general geographic collec- 
tion of grass seeds, a series of cane sugar specimens and a very 
instructive collection of the chief cereals and cereal products. 
CASE 44. — Various specimens of bamboo as cultivated in 
Japan. 
Originally no bamboos grew on the islands of the Japanese 
archipelago, where they are now cultivated to a large extent, 
and rendered by husbandry processes, very straight, firm and 
useful. The red and brown colorations, spots, ridges, blotches, 
and other beautifying marks upon these bamboos are also the 
result of careful and studied cultivation of various fungi para- 
sitic upon them. 
CASES 45 AND 46. — The Bean family (Leguminosae). 
(See also Case 36). Two cases exemplifying the products of this 
large and very important family. The exhibit includes various 
specimens of edible and ornamental beans, peas, lupines, vetches, 
lentils, clovers, medicagos, licorice, peanuts, acacia, and many 
others, together with oils, gums, resins, tan barks, indigo, starch, 
fibers, etc., obtained from various members of this group. 
CASE 49. — The Amarylls (Almaryllidaceae). Photographs 
and specimens of various Agaves together with numerous ex- 
amples of products manufactured from them and descriptions of 
the processes of preparation.
