On the basis of the sub-division into forest 

 Quebec types by Fernow, Air. Ellwood Wilson 



Pulp measured out the distribution of Quebec 



Wood. forest country as follows : 



Squxjre Miles. 



a. Northern Subarctic, 91.442 



b. Southern Subarctic, 112,644 



c. Laurentian, 79,408 



d. Lower St. Lawrence, 2,511 



e. Settled, 17,830 



Total, 303-855 



The area of type a is entirely out of reach of markets. That 

 of type b, according to Piche, is not over ten per cent- timbered, 

 along water courses. Of the Laurentian area 2)Z P^^ cent, is 

 burnt, muskeg and water and partially lumbered- 



The author then gives an estimate by watersheds of timbered 

 area and cordage : 



Per Sq. 

 Total cent. 

 Location. Forest Type. Area. Tim- 



James Bay watershed, Southern 



Subarctic, 11,233 

 James Bay watershed, Laurentian, 1,824 

 Ottawa Assumption,

Of this the subarctic area might as well be cut out, leaving 

 around 250 million cords available, if the average figures hold out.
