BIBLIOGRAPHY OF WEST AFRICAN FORESTS
1. HISTORICAL.
One of the first books was _Forestry in West Africa_, by Sir Alfred
Maloney, a former Governor of Lagos, which was published in 1887. This
is a most interesting and readable book, and, for the time it was
written, gives a very good account of many of the forest trees. It is
also much to Sir A. Maloney’s credit that teak, _Tectona grandis_, was
introduced into Nigeria at that time.
In _The Journal of an Expedition to Explore the Course and Termination
of the Niger_, by Richard and John Lander, only very vague descriptions
of the forests are given, and it is therefore not of much value from the
Forestry point of view, though it is a most entertaining description of
the people and their doings at that time.
2. BOTANICAL.
From 1868 onwards, _Flora of Tropical Africa_ appeared; so far eight
volumes have been published. This work was planned by the late Sir
William J. Hooker and edited first of all by Daniel Oliver, and
subsequently by Sir W. T. Thistleton-Dyer, K.C.M.G., C.I.E., and now by
Lieut.-Colonel D. Prain, the Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
It is, of course, very scientific, accurate and botanical, but has very
dry descriptions of many of the African trees and plants and no
illustrations are contained in these octavo volumes. What also makes it
harder to use this _Flora_ is the fact that since 1868 many new plants
have been named, and some of the names of the old plants have been
altered. A most useful chapter on Elementary Botany is contained at the
beginning of Vol. I. This is to some extent also a glossary of botanical
terms, but of course it cannot take the place of _A Glossary of Botanic
Terms_, by D. G. Jackson, 1905.
In many ways a much more useful book to the forester is Engler’s
_Monographien der Pflanzenfamilien_, of which eight volumes have
appeared:
I. Moraceæ, excluding Ficus.
II. Melastomaceaæ.
III. Combretaceæ Combretum.
IV. Combretaceæ, excluding Combretum.
V. Sterculiaceæ.
VI. Anonaceæ.
VII. Strophanthus.
VIII. Sapotaceæ.
The full-page black-and-white drawings of the various plants are very
valuable, and as they are all done on the same system, comparison both
with the plants and with other books is not very difficult. The expense
of these volumes is not excessive, considering the very large number of
illustrations and the authority of the text. It is a pity that this
series has for the time being come to an end.
In Engler’s _Pflanzenfamilien_, of course, a very complete account of
all plants is given, and the additions to it made almost monthly make it
quite possible to find out the latest-named additions to the plant-
world. The only disadvantage to these volumes is their number, size, and
lack of illustrations.

In a similar, though in a less complete way _The Kew Bulletin_ gives the
latest list of plants identified at Kew, amongst which are usually some
from Nigeria, and occasionally special bulletins appear on the plants
from Nigeria—as, for instance, _Bulletin of Miscellaneous Information_,
Additional Series No. 9; _The Useful Plants of Nigeria_, Part I, 1908,
Part II, Additional Series No. 10, 1912, Part III.
_The Bulletin of the Imperial Institute_, edited by Sir W. Dunstan,
which appears quarterly, always contains the most recent information
with regard to tropical products, including those of the forest. In
recent years, too, much more has appeared on the subject of the timber,
gum and oil-seed resources of Nigeria.
_Die Blütenpflanzen Afrikas_, by Franz Thonner, 1908, arranged as it is
in the form of a key, is most useful in identifying many of the plants
and trees. The black-and-white illustrations add immensely to its value.
Additions and corrections to this have also been made in _Die
Blütenpflanzen Afrikas_, 1913. The last edition is in English, and
entitled _The Flowering Plants of Africa_.
Among more recent books is a _Catalogue of Plants_ collected by Mr. and
Mrs. Talbot in the Oban district, South Nigeria, identified by A. B.
Rendle, M.A., D.Sc., F.R.S., and others, and brought out by the British
Museum in 1913. In this book the flora of Oban is specially dealt with,
and clearly shows the difference between it and the rest of the flora
and silva of Nigeria. Although this is mainly a description of newly
discovered plants, the black-and-white illustrations by Mrs. Talbot show
most accurately their salient features.
_Notes on Nigerian Trees and Plants_, by E. W. Foster, late Senior
Conservator of Forests, contains accurate descriptions of the most
useful trees, and the native names from the Yoruba country will be most
useful to anyone working timber in that part of Nigeria.
_The Agricultural and Forest Products of British West Africa_, by G. C.
Dudgeon, Director-General of Agriculture in Egypt, 1911, gives a short
description of the main forest and agricultural products of the country,
which is more useful to the trader than the forester or timber merchant.
The illustrations showing the making of palm oil and other country
products are very interesting, but Fig. 21, p. 112, supposed to be of an
Iroko tree, is in reality that of _Terminalia superba_.
For reference purposes Dr. Adolf Engler’s _Syllabus der
Pflanzenfamilien_, 1904, which takes special account of the medicinal
and useful plants, is most valuable.
For a proper introduction to Botany, Strasburger’s _Text Book of Botany_
is hard to beat.
_Kulturgewächse der Deutschen Kolonien_, by R. Sadebeck, 1899, gives a
very good account of most of the useful West African forest products;
the very clear illustrations add immensely to its value, although the
book is now somewhat out of date.
3. TIMBERS.
In _The Timbers of Commerce and their Identification_, by Herbert Stone,
F.L.S., F.R.C.I., 1904, a few of the West African timber trees are
mentioned, but only very cursorily, with but few illustrations.
In _Timber_, by J. R. Baterden, A.M.I.C., a few of the West African
timber trees are described, and a few photographs show how the timber is
worked. Their inclusion amongst the South African timbers does not
exactly enhance their value or give a true view of their place in the
economy of the timber trade.
_Wood_, by G. S. Boulger, gives an excellent system for classifying
woods by using all their various characteristics, such as taste, smell,
hardness, structure of the timber, and the various pith rays and other
peculiarities. A very complete list of all the various timbers used in
commerce is given, together with the various synonyms of each, and the
botanical names of each so far as they are known. The uses of the timber
and the supplies of each country are given, and in this way it is a most
important book of reference for any Forest Officer.
4. FORESTRY GENERALLY.
In _Sylviculture in the Tropics_, by A. F. Broun, Director of Woods and
Forests, Soudan, 1912, some references are made to West African trees.
Some very typical photographs of forest vegetation in various parts of
the Tropics are very useful, and demonstrate several forest theories far
better than pages of words.
_A Dictionary of the World’s Commercial Products_, by J. A. Slater,
B.A., LL.B., 1907, is very useful for looking up the lesser known forest
products. The descriptions have to be used with discrimination, as some
of them are rather cursory and no authorities for botanical names are
given.
_Gold Coast Report of Forests_, by Mr. H. N. Thompson, Chief Conservator
of Forests, South Nigeria, 1910, is the authoritative work on the
Forestry problems of the Gold Coast. Full descriptions of the chief
forests are given, together with the important plants and trees found in
each. The laws of South Nigeria as modified to suit Gold Coast
conditions are also quoted. Forest policy as suitable for this country
is given; the different types of forest and their relation to the
climatic formations are also mentioned at length. A suitable
establishment carrying out these suggestions is laid down. The black-
and-white drawings which illustrate this book, especially those of
mahogany, are invaluable to either the Forestry student or the timber
merchant.
_The Oil Palm and its Varieties_, by J. H. J. Farquhar, Conservator of
Forests, Nigeria, is an interesting and useful preliminary monograph on
that most valuable tree. It gives a summary of all the information of
the Forest Department on that subject up to that date.
_List of Trees, Shrubs and Climbers of the Gold Coast, Ashantee, and
North Territories_, T. F. Chipp, B.Sc., F.L.S.; _Der Tropenwirt_, by Dr.
S. Loskin, Hinstorff’sche Verlagsbuchhandlung, Wismar i. U., 1913; _The
Principal Forest Trees_, by H. N. Whitford, Ph.D., Bulletin No. 10,
Manila Bureau of Printing, 1911, are three useful books.
_The Kew Bulletin_ and the _Journal of the Imperial Institute_ always
contain most valuable notes on the botanical and technical qualities of
the various African trees and plants.
_The Indian Forester_, which appears monthly, is a most necessary
periodical for every Forest Office or Timber Camp, containing as it does
not only original articles on sylvicultural and other forest problems,
but also much information on the uses of timbers, similar kinds of which
are found here, and thus gives one an indication in what direction to
exploit new timbers.
_In the Guiana Forest_, by Jas. Rodway, is a very readable book on the
tropical forest scenery found in Demarara. It is, of course, written in
very popular style, but gives one a very good introduction to the
tropical forest, showing both by beautiful descriptions and good
illustrations what one should observe in these forests. Much tropical
scenery is very similar, and therefore, though this book deals with
British Guiana, much of it is applicable to West African forests.
_Forestry_, by Dr. Adam Schwappach, gives a short, concise account of
what is included under the term Forestry in Europe. One obtains a clear
view of the divisions under which this subject is treated.
_The Trees, Shrubs, Herbs and Climbers of Sierra Leone_, by C. E. Lane
Poole, Government of Sierra Leone, is the most important collection of
notes yet issued on this subject. It should prove of greatest use to
Forest Officers, and to all others interested in the forests and
afforestation.
Much useful information has been obtained from the annual Reports on the
administration of the Forest Department from the years 1906 to 1913,
more especially from that of 1906, which practically summarized the
results of the Department’s work up to that date. Data on Togo are
contained in the report of the afforestation of Togo with teak and other
African timber trees. This was the result of a long tour in that country
made by the author in 1911. From Sierra Leone much valuable knowledge
was acquired as a result of a five months’ tour made in 1908-9, and this
was embodied in a report which appeared in 1909. Very useful information
is contained in the reports by the Conservator of Forests there, which
have appeared since. A most extensive account of the forest trees and
plants, including the Oil Palm, is given in _Les Végétaux utiles de
l’Afrique tropicale française_, by M. Chevalier, Parts I and II, 1909,
1910 (A. Challamel), chiefly in connection with the Ivory Coast.
In the _Notizblatt_ of the Berlin Botanical Station are some useful
notes on _Die Nutz Holzer der Kamerun_, 1909. Also in the pamphlets _Die
Nutz Holzer Togos_, Parts I and II. In this manner it is possible to
make a comparative study of the timber trees found in the different
parts of West Africa. The addition of the native names in most cases is
also very valuable.
