organized in 1897, two years later an amalgamation of 

 the two was effected in the DeutscJier Forstverein (now 

 over 2000 members) . The most striking feature of this 

 forceful means of advancing forestry is the institution 

 of the Forstwirtsckaftsrat, a permanent committee of 

 about 50 members, which is to look after the political 

 and economic interests of forestrj'. 



There also exists an international association of forest 

 experiment stations. 



In the magazine literature the Cameralists dom- 

 inated until the eighteenth century. The first journal 

 edited by a forester was Beitter's "Journal fiir Forst 

 und Jagdwesen" which ran from 1790 to 1797. Dur- 

 ing the first part of the century many others were 

 started, especially after 1820, usually failing soon for 

 lack of support. Hartig himself participated in this 

 literature with five volumes (until 1807) of the Jour- 

 nal des Forst-Jagd-und Fischereiwesens and later (1816 

 to 1820) with the semi-official journal Forst und Jagd- 

 archiv. PfeU's Kritische Blatter were continued by 

 him from 1823 to 1859, when Xordlinger had the edi- 

 torship till 1870. An irregular publication of much 

 note was Burkhardfs Aus dem Walde" (1865-1881). 



Some of the journals founded in earlier times have 

 continued with changes in title and editorships to the 

 present day. Of these it is proper to mention as the 

 oldest, "Allgemeine Forst und Jagdzeitung, founded by 

 V. Behlen, 1825, later conducted by G. Heyer; "Forst- 

 wissenschaftliches Centralblait" (1828) ; "Zeitschrift 

 fiir Forst und Jagdwesen" founded in 1869 by Dankel- 

 mann; "Forstliche Blatter'' founded 1861 by Grunert, 

 continued by Borggreve until 1890. The Tharandter
