are shown from Ozoorget by the Government of Cootais(118, p. 1370), and of walnut and beech-wood, fromDjarobelocan by the Government of Tiflis (119, p.1370). These were each deemed worthy of HonourableMention.
No Spanish woods are exhibited; but in the Spanish Department there are two interesting and extensive col-lections of the woods of Cuba and the Philippine Islands .The series of the woods of Cuba , used for building, fur-niture, &c., is 225 in number, and is exhibited by theCabinet Botanical Garden of Madrid (180, pp. 1340,
1341); the specimens are all cut into the form ofbooks, so as to show the structure of the wood indifferentsections, and varnished so as to bring out the colour andgrain; the latter circumstance, however, though usefulin showing the beauty of the wood, renders it rathermore difficult to judge of the characters. This collectionwas formed by D. Ramon de la Sagra, and the woods aredescribed in his large work on Cuba ; the following listcontains only those woods the botanical names of whichhave been made out. For this collection the Juryawarded a Prize Medal.
