Lignu77i Vitce, l7tcense Cedar, Quebracho, and a particularly 
fine specimen of Ora7tge Mulber 7 y. 
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 Bro77ieliads. 
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” (.4 here exhib- 
ited compare well with the highly useful forms of Cryptomeria 
of Japan— forms, it is true, that are due to diseased conditions but 
highly ornamental and useful. The beautiful Pao Amarello 
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 Ceara. 
Wall. — The Woods of Parand. 
This set IS one of the most complete and uniform wood collec- 
• tions sent here from this country, 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 calkine 
iron. ^
