The International Association of Experiment Stations has de- 

 cided to publish a general bibliography of forestal literature, which 

 is to gather all the publications in the various journals — pre- 

 sumably something like what the Forestry Quarterly attempts 

 to do in a modest way. The Swiss Station has been made the 

 editor. There is to be first a collective volume for the past, com- 

 prising the time from 1750 to the present, and then yearly addi- 

 tions. It is calculated that the volume will contain 60,000 refer- 

 ences, the cost will be $6,000, and it will require five years to make 

 the collection. The German Forstwirtschaftsrat has decided to 

 assist the undertaking with $250 annually. 



In March the Providence of Ontario added one million acres 

 to its forest reserves by the formation of the "Quetico Forest Re- 

 serve" in the Rainy River District. This will be part of an inter- 

 national reserve, Minnesota having set aside a contiguous reserve 

 on their side of the border. 



Melard editor of the Revue des eaux et forets, best known by his 

 article on the threatening timber famine of the world, died in 

 March, 1909. 



Willard Springer, Jr., Yale Forest School, '09, has been added 

 to the force of foresters employed by the Pennsylvania Railroad 

 Company. He will assist in the management of the company's 

 timberlands. 



It will be learned with regret that Dr. Schenck has, this sum- 

 mer severed his connection with Mr. Vanderbilt at Biltmore, the 

 latter apparently having tired of his experiment. 



Dr. Schenck will, however, continue his school on a novel plan, 

 namely as a peripatetic one, with three locations, one near Bilt- 

 more, another in the Lake States, and the third in Germany — a 

 somewhat daring undertaking, characteristic of its author.
