coachman, in the manner that had been advised as proper, 
we took the first train for St. Petersburg, and arrived there 
on the morning of August 15th.* 
Besides the instruction in forest science given in the 
Forest Institute, and in the School for Forest Guards at 
Evois, there is also instruction in forestry given in the 
Institute of Agriculture at Mustiala, where Mr A. L. 
Borenius is professor of this science. He is known as a 
distinguished forester and writer on forestry in Finnish 
and in German journals. - 
In the Polytechnic School in Helsingfors, there is also a 
short course of instruction in forest science given; and in 
the agricultural schcols for the rural population, elemen- 
tary instruction in sylviculture is given. 
* To any student of Forestry desirous of visiting Evois the following information 
may be acceptable. From Rilhimski, a station ou the railway between St. Petersburg 
and Helsingfors, a branch line goes to Tavastehus. Thence a journey of some fifty 
verats (or thirty-three miles) by chaise—the one-horse conveyanee of the country—will 
take the traveller to Evois. The journey will occupy about six hours. It leads through 
the post stations of Heinékangar, Syrjintaka. Yso-Eve, and Evon Opista. The charge 
is ten penni per verst, or one mark, equal to tenpence sterling, per Finnish mile of ten 
versts, or between six and seven miles English. At the hotel (Hétel Nordin) every 
assistance will be courteously given to the traveller.—J. C. B.
