Abstract
IN his review of Record and Hess's “Timbers of the New World”1 Mr. Alexander L. Howard devotes half of a long paragraph to a mild reproof of the authors for saying something which actually they never said. He writes: “The authors State ‘Swietenia [is] the source of the only and true mahogany’, which pronouncement may be correct, and also may not”. The text (p. 366) reads: “Swietenia, the source of the original or true mahogany”.
