About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1918 edition. Excerpt: ... to describe it briefly, and as I had named it he and Mr. Coville, head of the botanical division, joined in asking me to characterize it.

Volume IX.--The Useful Plants of the Island of Guam with an Introductory Account of the Physical Features and Natural History of the Island, of the Character and History of its People, and of their Agriculture.
