The subjoined table, "Forest Reserves and Forest Areas, 

 States and Commonwealth, I&u8," taken from the latest issue of 

 the ' 'Official Year Book of the Commonwealth" (published in 

 1910), is reprinted as it there appears, with the exception that 

 the "area specially reserved for timber" in Western Australia has 

 been corrected, in accordance with official information recently 

 supplied by that State. The percentages of such Reserves to the 

 State and Commonwealth area have also been altered to meet that 

 correction : —
