HIS work embodies the results of a study of the more important 

 phases of forest practice in Corsica, Algeria, and Tunisia. 



The author has unusual qualifications for writing on this subject. 

 His knowledge of the theory and practice of forestry in the United 

 States is such as could result only from thorough training followed by 

 wide experience in the field. Through his work in the Forest Service 

 he has seen the worst and the best of American methods of forestry, and 

 how these work out under the stress of practical, silvicultural, financial 

 and administrative conditions. His experience abroad includes not only 

 Continental Europe and the French Dependencies, which latter are de- 

 scribed in this book, but also forest management in British India as well.
