Under the head of "Timber," I beg leave to report the following: The 

 kinds of timber found in this township are in order of their relative abund- 

 ance: spruce, poplar, tamartc, white birch, balsam, balm of Gilead, cedar 

 and white spruce. The only place where I found white spruce and cedar was 

 along the shores of the lakes and streams, and not much of it is found. The 

 underbrush consists of moose maple, alder, hardback and mountain ash. The 

 black spruce is the prevailing kind of timber in this township, and the largest 

 and best trees are found along the shores of the lakes and streams, and are 

 considerably scattered. Small spruce and tamarac are the only kinds of 

 timber found in the muskegs. 



There is also a large quantity of poplar and white birch in this township, 

 but is on higher land, and around the shores of some of the lakes and streams, 

 and is also scattered. 



The tamarac is the same as I found last season, being all half alive, or 

 dead, the reason of its dying, I learned from an old timer of the country, who 

 says that this result was caused by a small insect. 



The balsam is nearly all of small dimensions, the largest being found 

 along the streams and lakes.
