FORESTRY.

Ceylon’s Forestry Exhibit.
The exhibit of Ceylon woods is divided into three sections,
viz, ;—
(i.) A large case cut out of a single satinwood tree,
containing within it" a library of wood samples,
representative of the more useful timbers found
commonly in the country. These include both
ornamental as well as building timbers, while the
enclosing solid case affords a typical example of the
famous satinwood so widely used in ¢abinet work
both locally and in Europe. The case stands on
another ornamental wood, ebony. for which Ceylon
is justly famous.
(ii.) A group of six panels of woods, used both in structural
 as well as in carved work.
(iti.) A group of wood blocks, illustrative of our common
dry-zone timber trees.
While the examples given by no means represent more
than a fraction of Ceylon’s timber produce, they are selected
ag representing the more useful species in common use by
the Island’s inhabitants.
