There are of course still other factors in the problem, but they are 

 believed to be relatively unimportant, and cannot be discussed here with- 

 out unduly increasing the length of this paper. It must also be borne 

 in mind that New England is by no means a homogeneous area, for it 

 contains not only a great variety of soils, topography, climate, and for- 

 ests, but also almost every type of North American civilization, from 

 pioneer to mature and decadent ; and if one natural region, or even one 

 state, should be considered at a time, some of the foregoing statements 

 would have to be considerably modified to apply to it. But the general 

 principles have perhaps been set forth sufficiently to show how pro- 

 foundly the rate of forest exploitation in one part of the country may 

 be afifected by the development of transportation facilities in other parts.
