several important appendixes. In the fourth of these is 

 given, in tabulated form, explicit information in regard to 

 exports of forest products from Finland from 1855 to 

 1856. And in the report it is stated that the expansion 

 of the trade in forest products during the period embraced 

 by this appendix showed that a satisfactory forest economy 

 would be of inestimable benefit to trade and commerce of 

 every department, not only in the foreign but the home 

 trade, more especially in giving employment, through 

 shipbuilding, and land and water transport, but also in 

 many ways beside. 



In a fifth appendix is given, on the authority of the 

 Forest-Masters concerned, the transport which had occurred 

 of planks and sleepers from the Crown forests, arranged 

 according to the several water routes, with the outlay for 

 transport. 



In a sixth appendix is given a statement of the receipts 

 and expenditure in connection with the then existing 

 forest establishment for the administration and manage- 

 ment of the Crown forests in Finland, arranged according 

 to the Inspectoral Districts into which they were divided, 

 the data having been obtained from the forest account 

 books in custody of the Imperial Synod, for the years 

 1860-1868, and other official records which are named.
