At the Forest Institute the studies embrace physical science, 

 mathematics, forest engineering, and forest laws. Under the first head 

 is included instruction in mineralogy, geognosy, meteorology, in- 

 organic and organic chemistry, vegetable physiology, botany, and the 

 botany of forests, including plants found in the forests of Sweden, and 

 that of foreign trees, shrubs, and bushes which may be cultivated in 

 Sweden in the open air. In connection with mathematics instruction 

 is given in algebra and geometry, spherical trigonometry, land survey- 

 ing, and levelling, with exercises in the use of instruments and 

 calculations employed to obtain exact as well as proximate results, 

 and in the preparation of geometrical diagrams, plans, and projections, 

 and the principles followed in giving geometrical descriptions. 



The instructions in forest economy embrace 



1. Sylviculture : the culiure, maintenance, and protection of woods ; 

 and as introductory to this, the leading features of the statistics and 

 history of Swedish forests, and the forest literature of Sweden and 

 of other lands. 



2. Forest Management, with a special application of this to the 

 forests of Sweden ; and as introductory to this, the leading features and 

 progressive development of the theory and practical management of 

 forests. 



3. Forest Technology : the utilization of forest products, the felling 

 and transport of wood, the dressing and cutting of timber, and the 

 preparation of secondary products. 



4. Forest Mathematics : the valuation and calculation of cubic 

 measurements of wood in trees and in woods, natural and artificial, of 

 the age and of the annual increase in cubic contents of trees, and the 

 different methods followed in the valuation . of forests, or forest 

 statistics, the valuation of forests for purchase, excambre or exchange, 

 division of estates left in heritage, exappropriation, &c. ; forest 

 architecture and engineering, comprising the construction of houses,
