Excerpt from Tropical Beef Cattle Industry in the Western Hemisphere This bibliography consists of selected references, chiefly in the Eng lish, Spanish and Portuguese languages, to the literature on the beef cattle industry in the Tropics and the humid sub -tropical regions of the Western Hemisphere. Countries included are Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, the Guianas, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, British Honduras, Panama, Mexico, Cuba, and the West In dies. Florida, and the coastal portions of Alabama, Georgia, Louisi ana, Mississippi, and Texas have been included as has Hawaii, which, although it is in the Eastern Hemisphere, is an American dependency. Paraguay and Bolivia have been omitted because due to elevation and situation the climatic conditions are quite different from those in the humid Tropics. The literature here listed appeared for the most part between 1940 and 1950. Although a few references from 1951 have been included, no attempt has been made to cover that year systematically.
