47. Clark, J. Forest entomology in Western Australia. Australian Forest. Jour. 4: 

 142-144. 1921. — The trend of practical forest entomology in Western Australia and the need 

 for further work on the life histories and habits of insects injurious to forest trees are briefly 

 discussed. — C. F. KorsHan. 



48. Dawkins, C. G. E. Notes on an attack of Pyrausta machoeralis on teak in Zigon and 

 Tharrawaddy in 1920. Indian Forest. 47: 209-213. 1921.— Forest plantations of teak were 

 completely defoliated, the damage being especially noticeable in stands from 10 to 20 feet in 

 height. Leaves appeared again on the lower portions of the stem but the tops were killed. 

 The only possible way of saving the trees is to coppice the stand. Preliminary observations 

 appear to show no decrease in girth growth. It appears that the insects have run their course 

 and are disappearing. — E. N . Munns. 



49. FowxER, R. A. Australian hardwoods for paper-making. Australian Forest. 

 Jour. 4: 144-146. 1921. — A note is presented on paper-making from Australian hardwoods 

 pulped by the soda and mechanical processes. — C. F. Korstian.

 Australia for the year ended June 30th, 1920. Ann. Progress Kept. Woods and Forests Dept. 

 South Australia 12 p., 12 fig., 4 maps. Adelaide, 1920. — This is the routine administrative 

 report for the fiscal year. The work of the department is briefly summarized under the 

 following captions: "Area of forest reserves and plantations, areas enclosed for planting 

 operations, general account of the year's planting and other forest operations, exhibits at the 

 peace conference, interstate forest conference, and officers of the department." There 

 are appended detailed statements of trees planted during the year and the number that 

 survived, receipts and expenditures for the year, comparative revenues, expenditures, and 

 legislative provision for the past 44 years, and lands purchased from the loan under act 

 1028/10 for purposes of afforestation. — C. F. Korstian.

 skovforenings forsogsskure af svensk og dansk rodgran. [Tests of sheds of Danish and 

 Swedish red spruce made by the Danish forest association.] Dansk Skovforenings Tidsskr. 

 5:182-191.1920. — Red spruce, Picea excelsa, appears to be a trade name. In order to settle 

 a dispute as to the relative durability of these 2 grades for construction purposes test sheds 

 were erected, one from each species. The results show that Danish spruce is in no respect 

 inferior to the Swedish. — J. A. Larsen. 



52. Grieve, J. W. A. The management of the Punjab irrigated plantations as self-con- 

 tained forest estates on commercial lines. Indian Forest. 47: 103-109. 1921. — There are 

 62,000 acres of irrigable land in Punjab, of which 9605 have been planted. From this planted 

 area, a return of over 18 rupees per acre has been received annually. To put the balance of 

 these lands under proper forestry would require a considerable increase in the forestry staff. 

 The necessary service to handle this work is given in detail. — E. N . Munns. 



53. Hiley, W. E, The financial rotation for larch. Quart. Jour. Forest. 15: 122-127. 

 2 fig. 1921. — If the cost of the land does not exceed £20 per acre, the financial rotation 

 does not exceed 40 years for 2nd quality woods or 30 years for 1st quality. Second quality 

 woods should not be cut under 30 years unless unusually high prices are obtained, but 1st 

 quality woods may be cut at 25 years if the cost of land does not exceed £10. Planting 1st 

 quality larch soil bought at £25 per acre is a better financial investment than planting 4th 

 quality larch soil obtained for £1 per acre. — C. R. Tillotson.
