Museu Paraense de Historia e Ethnograhia: Arboretum Amazonicum

Abstract

FOR a development of moist equatorial vegetation no region surpasses that bordering the Amazon and its tributaries, which Dr. Hubr, in the course of his long association with Para, has had unique opportunities of visiting. The form in which Dr. Huber presents his information is similar to the “Vegetationsbilder,” where the illustrations are the chief feature and the notes are explanatory thereto, but it should be stated that the first two parts of the “Arboretum Amazonicum ” were issued in 1900, previous to the first numbers of the “Vegetationsbilder.” Two additional parts appeared last year, and it is proposed to complete the work in ten numbers. The publication of the work has been undertaken by the Polygraphisches Institut of Zurich, and the hotogravures afford a criterion of the excellence of their work.
