Mountain forest reserve in Manitoba, 

 both on the scale of one mile to one inch. 

 The map of "The Pines" reserve was 

 published some time ago, and that of 

 the Riding Mountain reserve (in four 

 sheets) is published as a supplement to 

 the report of the Superintendent of 

 Forestry for 1909. On pages 158 and 159 

 is shown a map of "The Pines" reserve, 

 in black and white, on a much reduced 

 scale, which will, however, give some 

 idea of the general plan of the maps. 

 Symbols are here used to denote burns, 

 degrees of cutting, etc., instead of colors, 

 as in the original maps. Tree species are 



designated by a letter in conjunction 

 with a figure. The annual report of the 

 Superintendent of Forestry tor 1909 is 

 also accompanied by a map of the irri- 

 gated districts of Alberta and Saskat- 

 chewan, in eight sheets, on a scale of 

 three miles to the inch, and a sketch 

 map of the present and proposed routes 

 of patrol in the Northern Forest Belt on 

 the scale of 50 miles to the inch. The 

 originals of all these maps were pre- 

 pared in the draughting office of the 

 Forestry Branch, under the supervision 

 of the chief draughtsman, Mr. Geo. S. 

 Proctor. 



Hydrographic Survey of the Milk River. 



By L. Gleeson. 



Closely related to the work of the 

 forester in conserving and regulating the 

 flow of streams is the work of measuring 

 and distributing the available water so 

 obtained, with a view to ensure its being 

 put to the best and most economical 

 use, whether for irrigation or domestic 

 purposes or as the source of industrial 

 power. 



Such a work has been taken hold of 

 by the Forestry Branch of the Depart- 



ment of the Interior, and several parties 

 were in the field during the past summer 

 inaugurating the work of a systematic 

 hydrographic survey. In this connec- 

 tion a short outline of the work of one 

 of these parties will be of interest. 

 The actual work in the field began 

 when the party, after two da3's on the 

 trail from Lethbridge, pitched camp on 

 the north bank of the Milk River at 

 Milk River Station. The party consisted
