While most of the species included under these general terms are going the way 

 of American forest trees generally, the paper birch, known also as the canoe 

 birch, white birch, silver birch, and large white birch, is one of the very few 

 American species having now a stronger hold on life than when America was dis- 

 covered. It is spoken of as a " fire tree " because of its habit of pushing in and 

 occupying the vacant spaces left by forest fires. Some tracts thus taken posses- 

 sion of within a century or half a century cover hundreds of square miles. This 

 is the tree which supplies material for birchbark canoes. Concerning these 

 boats several remarkable facts are related in this bulletin.
