A distinct feature of honeydew honey is the trisaccharide melezi-tose, which has been identified in the exudate manna of the Douglas fir the European larch, and the North American Jack or scrub pine. According to the late Professor C. S. Hudson, Turkestan manna contains 20-38% of melezitose, and Douglas-fir manna, 50% of melezitose. At one time, melezitose formed 20-30% of the total... 

Our objective Is to examine some aspects of current plant herbivore theory using Douglas-flr (Pseudotsuga menzlesll) and western spruce budworm (Chorlstoneura occldentalls). Both plant and herbivore are widespread In western North America. Natural hosts of the budworm Include Douglas-flr, species of Abies, and, on occasion, other conifers (9). Variation In budworm density occurs on both a geographic and local scale. We have frequently observed differential defoliation In trees having overlapping crowns at sites In Montana, Idaho, and New Mexico. 

Return to the map. Locate the fire station entrance. It is on Douglas Street between Second Avenue and Third Avenue. Douglas Street is one way going north. The hospital entrance you are asked to report to is on Third Avenue between Abby Street and Bruce Street. Avenues allow two-way traffic, but Bruce Street is one way going north. You need to go south to get to Third... 

After careful consideration, you find that the shortest legal route would be to start on Douglas Street at the fire station entrance and go north to Second Avenue. Then you would proceed west on Second Avenue to Carol Street. Then you would travel south on Carol Street to Third Avenue and then west on Third Avenue to the hospital entrance. Now, reread the question. You have found the shortest legal route from the firehouse to the Third Avenue entrance of the hospital. 

You are walking north on Bruce Street. You turn right on Second Avenue, walk two blocks to Douglas Street, and turn right. What direction are you now facing ...

During the American Civil War, both the North and South maintained concentration camps for prisoners of war and civilian enemy sympathizers a considerable percentage of these inmates died, mostly from epidemics. In the Northern prison camps of Camp Douglas and Rock Island, the mortality rates ranged from 2 to 4%. At the Southern prison camp of Andersonville, there were 13,000 deaths out of a total of 52,000 Union prisoners, i.e., a death rate of 25%.15 As we shall see, the mortality rate at Andersonville was entirely comparable, in terms of percentages, with many National Socialist concentration camps.

Damage Larvae mine in needles, buds, cones, or twigs of balsam fir, spruce, Douglas fir, hemlock, larch, and pine. One of the most damaging forest pests in North America also damaging in nurseries and ornamental trees. Budworms are the most serious conifer pests in North America, destroying billions of board feet of fir and spruce each... 

Spruce woods resemble the soft pines. They grow extensively in North America and Europe . The common varieties are the Norway spruce Picecs exulsd) and the Douglas spruce or fir (pseudofsuga douglasii). The Norway spruce resembles silver fir but the resin ducts arc visible though few in number. 

The selection of illustrative material raises a practical problem. The reader looks for familiar examples. To a European Norway and Sitka spruce and Scots pine might be an appropriate selection, to a North American reference to Douglas fir and the southern pines would be mandatory. In the Southern Hemisphere Pinus caribaea and P. radiata are clearly important. The more successful tropical hardwoods hardly get a mention. However, by emphasizing the principles governing processing and wood use, the hope is that reader will learn more than that offered by a narrow national perspective. We in New Zealand peep over the rim of the world and make our livelihood wherever we can, so it may be that a book written from that perspective has a better chance to capture the broad picture.
