LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL. 



State Geological Survey, 

 Jackson, Mississippi, October 20, 191)^. 



To His Excellency, Governor Earl Brewer, Chairman, 

 and Members of the Geological Commission: 



Gentlemen: Owing to the fact that one of the Bul- 

 letins on Forest Conditions of Mississippi was issued about 

 five years ago, and the edition has been exhausted for 

 several years, I have become impressed, from the frequent 

 -demands for these bulletins, that it would be desirable 

 to re-issue both these bulletins in one, so that the one volume 

 will cover the whole state. I have, therefore, combined 

 the bulletins into one, preserving the text of each intact, 

 but adding in a Supplement some data on forest products 

 not available earlier. I have also added a brief chapter 

 on the Flora and Floral Regions of the State, believing it 

 will add value to the Bulletin. 



I, therefore, present this for your approval, to be published 

 as Bulletin No. 11, of the Mississippi Geological Survey. 



Very respectfully, 



E. N. Lowe, Dircteor.
