Timbers of Tropical America

Abstract

NEARLY the whole of this work is made up of descriptions of the trees and woods of tropical America by Prof. Record, professor of forest products, Yale University, and the remainder, on tropical American countries and their forests, is by Mr. Mell, tropical forester. There are fifty pictures of forests, forest lands, individual trees, timber, and timber sections, and a very full description of seventy-five different families of trees, with full particulars of an innumerable number of different timbers. The whole forms a complete and up-to-date standard work, and is a very welcome addition to the somewhat bare library of books on the subject of the forests and timbers of the world.
