as standard is of quartered oak, with dull finish, and is strongly built. It has the 

 advantage of being much less expensive and serves every useful purpose of the 

 ordinary desk. 



The flat desk pad, 19 by 24 inches (item 12, List I, page 112 of The Use Book), 

 should not be included hereafter in requisitions made by members stationed away 

 from Washington. The pad is unmailable on account of its size, and the cost of 

 transportation by express makes its use in the field impracticable. Desk blotters of 

 the same size can be mailed in rolls, and will be supplied in filling requisitions for 

 the pads. / 



New Forms. 



The new Forest Banger's Notebook (Form 874) assembles in a loose-leaf binder 

 several of the forms most frequently used by forest officers, together with blank sheets 

 for field notes and mapping. These forms are necessarily much reduced in size, but it 

 is expected that the greater ease w r ith which they can be kept in order and carried 

 in the pocket will much more than offset the increased care required to fill out the 

 small forms legibly. Following are the consecutive order and numbers of forms 

 which comprize the new book: 



Form 874. Instructions. 



Form 874-2. Diary (superseding Form 847).
