THE FOREST LANDS OF FINLAND. 



While for some years the expense of conservation and 

 exploitation was met, or nearly met, by the proceeds of 

 sales, after a time this ceased to be the case. 



The revenue from the Crown forests actually received by 

 the State, in marks, which may be reckoned as equivalent 

 to francs, or, in round numbers, as tenpence sterling 

 each was : 



In 1866, .... 154,274 Marks. 



, 1867, .... 142,836 



, 1868, .... 140,956 



, 1869, .... 159,871 



, 1870, .... 230,249 



, 1871, .... 387,112 



But this revenue did not cover the outlay for salaries, 

 wages, and other expenses, and the Treasury had to make 

 up the deficit to the extent stated below, in the years 

 mentioned : 



1866, .... 214,760 Marka. 



1867, .... 222,869 



1868, .... 251,572 



1869, .... 200,592 



1870, .... 126,232 



The following more comprehensive statement, supplied 

 to me by Dr. Biomqvist, shows a somewhat different 

 result :
