PUERTO RICAN WOODS AND THEIR UTILIZATION 
 A Bibliograph y 
 (Compiled by ELOISE GERRY and FRANCES J. FLICK) 
 
 Forewo rd 
 
 Prepared at the request of the Tropical Forest Experiment Station of the U. S. 
 Forest Service, Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico, this bibliography attempts to list 
 background references contributing to a better understanding of available 
 Puerto Rican woods and their uses. The time-span covered by the references is 
 roughly 1900-1950* Historical material, trade statistics, and botanical des- 
 cription largely are omitted, although these aspects may be followed up by 
 examining reference lists included in items cited in the bibliography. 
 
 A study of available information points out that little work has been done on 
 Puerto Rican woods. Such a study also confirms statements of L. V, Teesdale 
 and J. W. Girard of the U. S. Forest Service in their 19h3' reconnaisance 
 report, Wood U t ilization i n Pu erto Rico, to the effect that there are no 
 existing reliable statistics on the forest resource, growth, drain, produc- 
 tion, or products requirements of the Island as a whole. A large volume of 
 rough and finished timber products consumed in Puerto Rico are imported, al- 
 though yields from existing forest cover have continuing, if unmeasured, 
 economic importance. Better utilization of island-produced and imported 
 timber products is a concern of the Tropical Forest Experiment Station staff, 
 as well as of others interested in improving Puerto Rico' s general economy. 
 
 Most references in the bibliography were collected by Eloise Gerry, Forest 
 Products Technologist, in connection with her work on foreign woods in the 
 Division of Silvicultural Relations, U. S. Forest Products Laboratory. 
 Further checking of sources, and preparation of the list for reproduction, 
 were done by Frances J. Flick, bibliographer, from the staff of the U. S. 
 Department of Agriculture Library. 
 
 The bibliography is divided into three sections: I, Puerto Rican Woods and 
 their Utilization (General); II, References Relative to Wood Protection and 
 Preservation; LIT, Other References with Possible Application to the Puerto 
 Rican Situation. Sections II and III do not represent intensive search in 
 the subjects involved. The material is included as supplementary information 
 for uses of the bibliography. 
 
 General arrangement within the sections is alphabetical by author. Due to 
 the small number of references, it has not been thought necessary to index 
 subjects covered. Unless otherwise indicated, call numbers at the end of each 
 citation are those of U. S. Department of Agriculture libraries. 
 
 A primary source of references, heavily drawn upon, was a typewritten list, 
 References on the Woods of Puerto Rico, compiled in 19h8 by the Tropical 
 Forest Experiment Station.
