93 JOURNAL OF FORESTRY 



The mycology branch is concerned with mycology in its relation to 

 forestry, and control methods. 



The writer, having Indian conditions in mind, thinks that decentral- 

 ization beyond the point of provincial silviculturists would be a mis- 

 take. The methods and ideas must be controlled by a central body, if 

 any unity is to be obtained. Thus the various experiments in each 

 German State are carefully discussed, and an exact procedure and 

 method is passed upon by the German Forest Research Association 

 before the experiment is started. 



The writer concludes that it is high time the prejudice against intro- 

 ducing European methods into India should be done away with. "Local 

 conditions certainly influence all work, but they influence details far 

 more than principles."
