 replace Sicilian sumach, of which 7,000 tons, to the value of more than 

 two million francs, were imported into France during the year 1913. 

 The plant is 'believed to grow abundantly in French West Africa, and 

 that it may count in the future as one of the resources of the colony. 



JouRNAi, OF Forestry (Chinese) 



The first issue of a Journal of Forestry published by the Chinese 

 Forestry Association, Nanking, China, March, 1931, has been received 

 recently. It is of special interest because it marks the first publica- 

 tion of a forestry periodical in the Chinese language. 



This number contains several editorials, some original and some 

 translated articles on forestry, reports on forestry progress in China, 

 and news notes with reference to internatibnal forestry. 



The magazine is designed to be popular in character and to serve 

 as a means of creating public interest in forestry throughout China.
