tural areas are always excluded unless they are small 

 and isolated. 



In some cases areas temporarily withdrawn from

 unsuitable portions will be restored to the public 

 domain. 



All communications relating to the creation of Na- 

 tional Forests or to changes in their boundaries should 

 be addressed to The Forester, Forest Service, Washing- 

 ton, D. C. 



r n supervisor decides that there should be a change 

 in the boundary of his Forest he should report the area recom- 

 mended for examination by townships and sections, if possible, 

 accompanying his report by an outline map. If an addition is 

 recommended, he should state exactly what area, if any, should 

 be withdrawn from settlement pending field examination. 



In case of small additions or eliminations the Forester will, 

 as a rule, instruct the supervisor to have the necessary examina- 

 tion made by the local force. Maps and reports will be pre- 

 pared with sufficient detail to serve as a basis for final action 

 without further examination.
