The Collection and Storage of Forest Seeds. Leaflet 21, Board 

 of Agriculture for Scotland. Edinburgh. 1914. Pp. 4. 



Suggests methods of collecting and storing locally grown forest 

 tree seeds to offset shortage of continental supply occasioned by 

 the war. 



The Large Larch Sawfly. Leaflet 22, Board of Agriculture for 

 Scotland. Edinburgh. 1914. Pp. 7. 



The exact distribution in Scotland of the large larch sawfly 

 [Nematus (Lygoeonematus) Erichsonii] is not kell known, and 

 the society is anxious to get as much information as possible 

 regarding it in order to prevent serious damage. To this end, the 

 insect is pictured, the symptoms of attack described, and methods 

 of control discussed. 



The Production of Potash Salts from Woodlands and Waste 

 Lands. Leaflet 25, Board of Agriculture for Scotland. Edin- 

 burgh. 1914. Pp. 14. 



Discusses briefly the results of experiments to determine the 

 commercial possibility for the production of potash salts on a 

 considerable scale from forest produce, as it was believed that 

 the stocks of potassium salts in Scotland would be completely 

 exhausted by April, 1915. 



Timber for Pit-props and Colliery Requirements. Issued by 

 the English Forestry Association. Farnham Common, Slough, 

 Bucks. 1914. Pp. 10. 



There are over 1,000 collieries in England and Wales, and on 

 account of the war it was feared that the supply of mine timbers 

 might be seriously reduced. This publication is a general review 

 of the situation and discusses the classes of timber used, species, 

 sizes, weights and railway rates, with suggestions for marketing. 



Trametes Pini, Fries, in India. By R. S. Hole. Vol. V, Part 

 V. The Indian Forest Records. Calcutta. 1915. Pp. 26. 



Discusses the occurrence of this fungus in India, its manner 

 of spreading, and means for its control. Observations indicate 

 that infection usually takes place through the stem of the tree 

 by wind-carried spores and not through the roots, though occa- 

 sionally infection through grated roots probably does occur.
