Leonard, Smithsonian botanist, who has just returned from botani- cal exploration in the Republic of Haiti lasting four months, reports a great improvement in the safety of lite and property in the island over | conditions existing during a former visit slx years ago. Hls recent fleld | work, which covered malnly the northern part of the ecountry, was productive of large botanical collec- tlons that will be of great assist-| ance In making known the floi of | special interest among the materials collected are the epecimens of woods | native to the {sland, some of which | presumably represent new specles. The collection of wood samples, ac companied by complete herbarium specimens of follage, fruits, and | flowers, is regardcd as of extreme importance in fixing definitely the | identity of many cabinet and other | woods that are used incroasingly by Amerfcan importers.
