126        Fair  Forestry  outside  of  the  United  States.  {Am]i£S, S"130" 
as  they  have  their  own  buildings.  Guatemala  and  Honduras  in  one 
and  Costa  Rica  in  another.  The  former  did  not  lack  material,  but 
their  method  of  exhibition  was  bad  and  also  suffered  much  by  neg- 
lect. The  same  could  be  said  of  Costa  Rica's  crude  drugs,  but  her 
woods  occupied  conspicuous  space  on  ground  floor.  They  were 
arranged  in  2  pyramids  about  1 5  feet  diameter  and  same  height 
composed  of  tree  sections  and  slabs,  varying  from  2  to  6  or  8  feet  in 
length. 
Among  them  we  noticed  Zapotillo,  Laurel,  Quebracho,  Guayacan, 
Roble,  10  or  i  5  varieties  of  Cedro  or  Cedar,  Cocobola,  Sangre  draco, 
Talma,  Zapote,  Manzanillo  and  Algarroba. 
Venezuela's  woods  on  exhibition  were  reduced  to  the  number  of 
1 5  or  20,  and  no  information  was  attached  nor  could  any  be  obtained 
elsewhere. 
In  the  Liberal  Arts  Building  was  a  fine  display  of  the  natural 
resources  of  Jamaica,  and  prominent  among  them  was  a  large  num- 
ber of  woods  in  slab  form  and  condition,  no  attempts  at  classifica- 
tion and  nothing  could  be  learned  of  them,  to  the  great  regret  of 
those  having  them  in  charge. 
Hayti  had  a  very  clever  collection  in  her  own  building,  arranged 
in  the  form  of  a  large  pyramid  in  a  corner  of  the  building  and  con- 
taining large  specimens  in  natural  and  polished  condition  of  these 
tree  bearing  officinal  drugs  or  those  closely  allied  to  them.  Xanthox- 
ylon  carribean,  Catalpa  longisliqua,  Bignonia  arborea,  Acacia  arborea, 
Tecoma  leucoxylon,  Piper  aduncum,  Mimosa  anjuscacti,  Chiconea 
floribunda,  Theobroma  guozumi,  Guaiacum  officinale,  Simaruba 
excelsa,  Haematoxylon  Campeachiaum. 
Trinidad,  or  as  their  genial  Commissioner  calls  it,  "The  Land  of 
the  Humming  Bird,"  showed  fewer  timbers  but  larger  boards  or 
slabs  and  finer  colored  woods  than  any  other  country.  Also  the 
only  one  exhibiting  the  Purpleheart  or  Amaranth,  a  species  of 
Copaifera.  This  resembled  very  much  the  heart  wood  of  our  Red 
Cedar,  but  durable  in  color  and  had  very  small  portion  of  white 
duramen. 
These  woods  were  all  board  size  1  y2  feet  to  3  in  diameter  and 
8  or  10  feet  long,  one-half  natural,  the  other  polished,  and  besides 
the  Purpleheart  were  the  Galba,  resembling  cigar  box  cedar,  Locust, 
a  dark  red  wood,  Guelpha,  creamy  white,  very  close  grain,  resem- 
bling a  maple,  Tapana,  reddish  walnut  color,  and  used  for  carriages,
