PERIODICAL LITERATURE 



Owing to the irregularity and slimness of foreign forest literature, 

 due to the war, this department must necessarily be meagre for the 

 present. 



Journal of Agriculture. Forestry Number. College of Agricul- 

 ture, University of California. Vol. IV, No. 3, November, 1916. 

 San Francisco, Cal. Pp. 49. 



This special number devoted to forestry is as interesting and 

 valuable to the forester as it is beautiful, and reflects great credit on 

 the new Division of Forestry at California's University. The list of 

 contributors to this number is a notable one, consisting of the dean of 

 the University of Toronto's Forestry Department, an assistant forester, 

 four district foresters, an inspector of grazing, the chief engineer of 

 the Forest Service, the assistant to the Secretary of the Interior, two 

 forest specialists, an expert on South American forests, a professor 

 of forestry, the editor of The Timberman, and others. 



The contents of this number are worth listing in detail:
