A VISIT TO GERMAN FORESTS. 443 



lodging in a village or small town, and staying at a country inn one 

 is usually charged even less. Travelling is never cheap, however, 

 and I found that my total expenses always ran to quite £10 per 

 month. 



Throughout my tour I received every possible help and guidance. 

 To Professor Schwappach especially my warmest thanks are due, 

 for he made my visit the success it was. But absolutely without 

 exception I met with the greatest kindness at the hands of the 

 forest officers in all parts, and it gives me pleasure to be able here 

 to record the deep sense of indebtedness which I feel to them. 

 During the greater part of my stay I was fortunate in having the 

 companionship of a Scotsman and fellow-student, Mr Eric A. 

 Nobbs, B.Sc. Mr Nobbs's enthusiasm, inquiring bent of mind, 

 and scientific knowledge, made him the best associate I could have 

 had ; and to him is attributable much of the pleasure and instruc- 

 tion which I have derived from my tour.
