 in typography and substance show the care with which the Bulletin

North American Forest Research is a vakiable contribution to 

 forest literature, useful not only to forest investigators but to all for- 

 esters and to many others who are connected with the forest indus- 

 tries. As a pioneer in the field it meets a real need efifectively. It will 

 unquestionably attain its object as a "clearing house of information on 

 current investigative projects" and as a "means of informing inves- 

 tigators of each other's work and in this way help indirectly to avoid 

 duplication of efifort and give the encouragement that must come from 

 the knowledge that there are others who are working in the same 

 field." In so doing, it will reflect deserved credit on the Research 

 Committee of the Society of American Foresters which was responsible 

 for its preparation. J. K.
