put into effect in each of the countries are: (1) The adoption of a forest policy enforced by- 

 foresters; (2) a survey of the resources of which there is no definite knowledge at present; 



(3) the development of a personnel to handle forestry matters under constitutional authority; 



(4) organization of forest industries; (5) education and publicity; (6) distribution of free 

 plants for tree planting; (7) development of forest research by the states; (8) the establish- 

 ment of a forestry bureau. — E. N. Muntis.

 management in the two countries. — Chunjen C. Chen.

 1920. — The present are the fourth and fifth (concluding) installments of this paper. Conif- 

 erous plantations in southeastern Australia are considered with special reference to the 

 relative merits of different species. Pinus radiata, Pinus laricio, Pseudotsuga taxifolia, 

 Picea sitchensis, and Pinus ponderosa are discussed quite extensively. Mention is made of 

 the climatic effect of tree denudation and the establishment of a forest school at Creswick.

133 p., 1 map. Lahore, British India, 1919. — At the end of the 3'ear the forest areas in square 

 miles were: Reserved, 1747; protected, 4169; unclassed, 767; leased, 361. Fire devastated 3.17 

 per cent of the total area. In the irrigated plantations 1575 acres were sown, bringing the 

 total area to 6123 acres. The cut of timber during the year in cubic feet was 7,243,000, and of 

 firewood 27,158,000. At the Jallo factory 28,778 Maunds (maund = 80 pounds) of resin were 

 distilled as compared with 16,426 in the previous year. The surplus fell from 934,704 Rs. the 

 previous year to 568,472 Rs., due largely to cancellation of war contracts. It is stated that the 

 time has now come for developing the hill forests by intensive management and working to 

 the utmost capacity the irrigated plantations in the plains. Further postponement of this 

 development is no longer desirable. At present the greatest needs of the department are an 

 increased staff and an extended use of mechanical appliances for extraction coupled with 

 improved communications. Staff is needed especially for the revision of working plans, the 

 application of specialized engineering methods, investigation and opening of new markets, 

 development of new industries, and for research work in silviculture and forest economics. 

 In Bashahr the produce of thinnings, formerly unsalable, is being profitably exported. In 

 the Pabbi, natural reproduction of Prosopis glandulosa continues to be good, but other 

 species were mostly killed by drought. Spruce timber suitable for airplane manufacture is 

 not likely to be obtainable from Bashahr, as it is too knotty and the river Sutlej and its 

 tributaries are so rough that the driving of long scantlings is difficult. Kulu is a promising 

 source of supply, as the driving conditions there are much better. Experiments (as with ban
