REPORT OF STATE FORESTER. 



355 



The above list contains 54 examinations covering an area of 

 10,250 acres, expense, paid by landowners, $30.33. 



The number of examinations made this year is six less than 

 given in the last report. The area examined is, however, in- 

 creased by 4,502 acres. Many examinations in the eastern part 

 of the State that formerly came under this department have 

 been turned over to the moth end of the work, so that both in 

 number and area the work has shown a large increase during 

 the past year. Examinations in chestnut woodlands affected 

 with the bark disease have also been classified separately, and 

 this too would tend to lower the number handled by this de- 

 partment. 



Surveys. 



The following is a list of the lots taken over for reforestation 

 and for which surveys have been made. Maps in triplicate 

 for these lots are on file at this office.
