A; BIBLIOGRAPHY OF FORESTRY IN CALIFORNIA. 



INTRODUCTION. 



This bibliography of forestry in California attempts to bring together 

 such books, official reports and articles in periodicals as may appear 

 serviceable to the forester or the non-professional student. It does not 

 include the exceedingly large amount of popular writing designed to 

 further the adoption of protective measures, nor descriptive matter of 

 primarily a literary character. Even in its chosen field, it does not 

 pretend to be exhaustive. Important data and discussions, especially 

 in dendrology and forest description, will be found scattered through 

 innumerable botanical, geological, and other scientific books and periodi- 

 cals. To gather them would involve an amount of labor quite dispro- 

 portionate to the harvest thus to be collected. 



There are a number of periodicals quite indispensable to the student 

 of California forestry, which have not been analyzed because they are 

 provided with such excellent indices, that their California articles may 

 be readily found. Among these are : 



Garden and Forest. 



The Forestry Quarterly. 



Forestry and Irrigation. (This periodical was in its earlier 

 volumes known as The Forester. The publishers have 

 recently announced the contemplated change of name 

 to Conservation.) 



Water and Forest. 



The trade papers dealing with lumbering and other forest industries 

 will, of course, not be neglected by the student. The most important of 

 these are The American Lumberman (formerly Northwestern Lumber- 

 man), and Pacific Coast Wood and Iron. 



In the office of the State Forester at Sacramento -numerous manu- 

 script notes on California forestry are being collected. In the State 

 Library at Sacramento newspaper clippings on this subject arc 

 preserved.
