226 journal of forestry 



Rkport of thf Board of Editors for thf Year 1918 



During the year no changes have been made in the character of the 

 Journal. The absence of any German Hterature has, of course, as in 

 the preceding year, curtailed the section of periodical briefs. War 

 activities have preoccupied the time of several of the editors and left 

 reviews in arrears. Moreover, the paper controller's orders curtailed 

 our space and thereby caused delay in bringing out some articles more 

 promptly. 



An analysis of the contents shows that 641 pages of articles and 

 reviews were distributed among nine classes of subjects, namely: 



Pages 



Botany and zoology 7 



Forest geography and description 35 



Mensuration, finance, and management 113 



Politics, education, and legislation 105 



Silviculture, protection, and extension 284 



Soil, water, and climate 33 



Statistics and history 25 



Utilization, market, and technology 28 



Miscellaneous 11 



641 



Special mention should be made of the fact that this volume contains 

 the Terminology of the Lumber Industry, as the previous volume con- 

 tained the Terminology of Forestry, both of which are for sale sepa- 

 rately. The Secretary and the Treasurer have brought in their respec- 

 tive reports the statistics of distribution, cost, and the financial status, 

 all of which are greatly encouraging.
