68 TRANSACTIONS OF ROYAL SCOTTISH ARBORICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



the present working-plan, a description of the silvicultural 

 methods employed, and finally a discussion of the problems of 

 management and future policy. 



The study of the working-plan should be interesting to 

 foresters as it is directed towards bringing in normality, and the 

 discussion of the silvicultural methods bring out many points 

 in connection with the natural regeneration of an oak and 

 beech forest, such as the methods adopted to protect the less 

 tolerant oaks from suppression by beech and hornbeam. It 

 will also interest readers to see that the Scots pine has proved 

 the best species for reclaiming the particular type of lapsed forest 

 land common in Trongais, on which the oaks fail to gain a start. 



The Notes should prove very useful to m.embers of the senior 

 forestry classes at Edinburgh University, who carry out the most 

 important part of their practical training in this famous forest, 

 which has been called France's " Forest of Dean." 



Copies can be obtained from Mr James Thin, 54 South Bridge, 

 and Mr Alex. Brunton, 54 Hanover Street, both booksellers in 

 Edinburgh, at a cost of 2s. 8d. post free.
