The author draws the following conclusions : 



The difference in individuals of a stand is not only dependent 

 on the site but on inherent disposition. The site can influence the 

 latter ("Anlagen") favorably or impede their development but 

 cannot entirely obliterate them. The progeny of broad-crowned 

 individuals are more rapid in growth than that of small-crowned 

 (with weak branches and short leaders!) The average height of 

 six-year plants was 109 cm for broad-crowned, and 61 cm for 

 small-crowned, a difference of 75% ! The difference in height 

 is the same as between seeds from Norway and Aliddle Europe. 



The age of seed trees has no great yet a noticeable influence on 

 the progeny, that of young broad-crowned seed trees being 14 

 cm higher than that of old broad-crowned trees. 



The resistance to the "Schutte" (Lophodermium Pinastri) is 

 noticeable. The progeny from dominant trees remains immune, 

 that from suppressed . trees suffers badly (disposition!). The 

 progeny of some seed trees were all attacked by the disease 

 excepting one single or a few individuals, which in the midst of 

 sick, yellow-brown ones remained completely green. A colored 

 plate shows the condition in this respect of 25 plots.

The article by Gunnar Schotte is a com- 



Seed Crop pilation of the data which the Forest 



in Supervisors of Sweden are required to fur- 



Sweden. nish to the District Office with regard to 



the abundance of seed of different species. 



These data must be submitted not later than the 15th of 



October of each year. The District Forester brings together all 



the data received from the Forest Supervisors and sends a report 



to the Central Office of the Forest Department. The information 



thus secured is later turned over to the Royal Forest Experiment 



Station which works up the data in great detail and makes general 



deductions of the production of seed throughout the entire 



country. This report is printed in the series of publications. 



issued regularly by the Forest Experiment Station since 1905. 



The method of collecting statistics about seed crops in Sweden is 



about the same as in Germany, namely ocular-statistical. The 



abundance of the cones, seed, and acorns is designated as follows :
