BRITISH GUIANA. 
Case 44A. — Minor Forest Products. 
Wall. — The Woods of British Guiana. 
This collection contains many richly colored and valuable 
timbers, among which the wallaba, 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 beautiful 
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 wonderful ex- 
amples of high color in wood. This collection forms one of the 
brightest color spots in the galleries. 
CURACAO. 
Case 47. — Economic Plants and Fruits. 
QUATEflALA. 
Wall. — The Woods of Guatemala. 
This collection, though large in number of species, can hardly 
be said to properly represent the valuable timbers of the country, 
as unfortunately most of the specimens are from young growths, 
and, to a large extent, devoid of heartwood. The collection is also 
somewhat deficient in nomenclature, yet withal, upon further 
study, it will become one of rare worth, from its complete repre- 
sentation of the Guatamalan sylva.
