344 TRANSACTIONS OF ROYAL SCOTTISH ARBORICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



M. Melard, which I have adopted, may perhaps require some 

 revision, especially as they are only brought up to date of 1898, 

 but the net result is that, for the world, so far as is known, the 

 imports exceed the exports by £3,437,115, which perhaps repre- 

 sents the exports of Australia, various parts of Africa, Siam, 

 the French and Dutch Indies, Turkey, and minor countries 

 generally. The accompanying Table gives the figures I have 

 compiled from the work of M. Melard. 1 



The quantity of wood exported as paper pulp has not been included in 

 these figures, but it is well to mention that it amounts for Sweden and 

 Norway to about £1,500,000 sterling, and for Canada to about £6,500,000, 

 total £8,000,000. 



1 Since this Table was compiled, Dr W. Sehlich's paper, read before the 

 Society of Arts on 27th February 1901, has given what ara probibly mire 

 accurate figures. [The piper will be found at p. 355. — Ed .]
