 forest products, and other objects of interest connected 

 with forestry, opened in Edinburgh, 'in the interests of 

 forestry, and to promote a movement for the establishment 

 of a School of Forestry in Scotland, as well as with a 

 view of furthering and stimulating a greater improve- 

 ment in the scientific management of woods in Scotland 

 and the sister countries which has manifested itself during 

 recent years.' 



The following is one of a series of volumes published 

 in support of this enterprise, with a view to introduce 

 into English forestal literature detailed information on 

 some of the points on which information is supplied to 

 the students at Schools of Forestry on the Continent ; and 

 to make better known the breadth of study which is 

 embraced in what is known there as Forstwissenschaft, or 

 Forest Science,
