1) Comp. the accompanying map.
Owing to the importance of both articles to the several branches of industry, the statistical material covering the production and export of camphor and camphor oil is considerable. However, there are contradictions between the official data supplied by the Japanese, who evidently have no desire to show their hand, and the reports of various European representatives (consuls and experts). In the following tables there will be found the principal data concerning production and export of both articles from the several districts of production.
