 of men for management of forest reserves are better than those of any 

 state government. Taxation on the basis of yield, and collection of

 number of well-chosen and carefully reproduced photographs, a bibli- 

 ography at the end of each chapter, and a comprehensive glossary of 

 forestry and logging terms.— J. G. Brown.
