 VIII +241, pis. 62, figs. 5). — This work, which is based largely on the literature

 work, W. D. Stekrett (Forestry Quart., 14 (1916), No. 3, pp. 467-^70).— In this 

 paper the author outlines a plan whereby both Federal and state forest 

 agencies may cooperate with other public agencies in the development of 

 county or community working plans with reference to woodlot and forest 

 problems.

 14 (1916), No. 3, pp. 433-440, pi. 1, figs. 5).— This paper describes new methods

 and a bibliography of related hterature.
