Mr. Pinchot first discusses the uses of the forest and the silvi- 

 cultural systems at present in use in different countries, and 

 then passes on to consider work in the woods under the divi- 

 sions of Conservative Lumbering and Planting. The effects of 

 the forests on chmate and temperature are the subject of a sep- 

 arate chapter, and the concluding section gives a sketch of the 

 historv^ of forestry abroad and at home. The two volumes 

 form a complete and simple exposition of forestry as it is ad- 

 vocated by its most reliable exponents at the present time. 



Canadian National Park, Rocky Mountains.— pp. 63. 



In the last number of the Forestry Journal was noted the 

 issue by the Department of the Interior, of a pamphlet descrip- 

 tive of the Canadian National Park in the Rocky Mountains 

 and there were reproduced two of the colored illustrations there- 

 from. The Park is situated on the eastern slope of the Rocky 

 Mountains, and comprises an area of 5,732 square miles or 

 3,668,480 acres. Within its bounds is found a great variety of 

 grand and beautiful scenery of river, lake and mountain. It 

 includes, also, the hot springs at Banff, which are a great attrac- 

 tion to tourists. A large part of the park is forest clad and is 

 given efficient protection from fire by the authorities. Its chief 

 objects, however, are as a pleasure resort, and as a protection to 

 the watershed, and to fish and game. The pamphlet-is fullv 

 illustrated and its make up is a credit to the Department and 

 to the Rolla L. Crain Company, of Ottawa, from whose office it 

 issued.
