VENEZUELA. 
WALL.— Woods. 
This collection, though composed mostly of small speci- 
mens, is particularly valuable in that nearly all of the species are 
authentically identified. It is also a quite complete series, and 
one of great scientific value. 
Cx\SE 44. — Fibers, Cottons, Cereals, and Barks. 
BRITISH QUIANA. 
CASE 44A. — Gums, Oils, Starches, and Cassava bread. 
WALL. — The Woods of British Guiana. 
This collection contains many richly colored and valuable 
timbers, among which the wallaha, green heart, purple heart, and 
mahogany are especially deserving of careful comparison with 
the cabinet timbers of any country. 
TRINIDAD. 
WALL. — The Woods of Trinidad excited the most favorable 
notice of any displayed at the Exposition, both for their beauti- 
ful markings, and high permanent color. The magnificent Saman, 
or leopard mahogany, was by far the finest specimen in the 
Forestry Building, while the angelin and purple heart were won- 
derful examples of high color in wood. This collection forms 
one of the brightest color spots in the galleries.
