"Review of Forest Administration in British India for the year 

 1908-1909" (with a quinquennial summary) is an appreciation of 

 the work initiated and carried out by Inspector General Eardley- 

 Wilmot during five years of his service as inspector general. It 

 appears that progress has been made in securing better salaries, 

 more permanent improvement work, better fire protection, larger 

 grazing facilities, increased value of minor forest products and an 

 increase in the annual net revenue. 



Under the title "Fire Protection of Chir Forests" is a note by 

 M. R. K. Jerram calling attention to the fire damage and a letter 

 from V. A. Stowell advocating regulated burning. 



The issue, in addition, contains the usual correspondence, and 

 notes on shooting.
