of ecological nomenclature, concepts, problems, etc. Some obser- 

 vations are also recorded on the nature of social types of Vegetation 

 as suggested by places visited. Emphasis is laid on the need for 

 studying Vegetation units, not so much as collections of species, 

 but rather as the products of environmental-conditions and of plants 

 with functional limits reciprocally influencing each other.

De Forest, H., The Scope of Dendrology in Forest Bo- 

 tany. (Forestry Quarterly. XII. p. 1 -7. 1914.) 



The author believes that forest botany consists of two distinct 

 parts. One is dendrology, which deals with tree species, with facts 

 concerning the individual trees that make up the forest and is 

 non-ecologic, and the other deals with association of such trees and 

 the dynamic aspects, and is, therefore, ecologic. He elaborates on 

 this division, treating of the kinds of dendrology and silvics.
