8 WEST AFRICAN FORESTS AND FORESTRY 



Two most valuable chapters on the Forests and botanical features 

 of the Northern Provinces of Nigeria were written by Dr. J. M. 

 Dalziel, to whom I owe grateful thanks for his encouragement in 

 this work. 



My greatest thanks are due to Mr. C. E, Lane-Poole, Commissioner 

 of Forests, Victoria, for the use of the list of the Sierra Leone trees. 



To M. Chevaher I return grateful thanks for his list of the 

 Ivory Coast trees. 



For the constant and unfailing interest and devotion to the work 

 of Miss Christina E. Lacy, acting as amanuensis, I beg to extend my 

 heartfelt thanks. 



Further thanks are also due to my wife, who has lent not only 

 practical assistance, but has been the mainspring of inspiration for 

 the completion of this work.
