in great detail the distribution of the different species 

 and types of timber, its size, density and conditions. 

 All the burned-over areas of the past six years are out- 

 lined. Another records the estimate of the standing 

 timber on each forty by species. A third map shows 

 all the areas where planting is necessary to produce a 

 normal stand. 



The details of the maps and recommendations for ac- 

 tion in the future are contained in a report accompany- 

 ing the maps. The collection of this material has re- 

 quired months of field work, but it is of a high order 

 and will be invaluable in the management of the Park.
