course of the Kemi 600,000 trunks, and almost as many 
logs; in the bason of the Riijanne 600,000 trunks, and 
800,000 logs; and lastly, in the bason of the Saima, 
900,000 trunks, and 400,000 logs. The total quantity of 
timber ready to be cut up, provided by the Crown forests 
for floatage to the Gulf of Bothnia, was about nine millions 
of trunks, and 3,300,000 beams or logs, and for floatage to 
the Gulf of Finland 1,700,000 trunks, and 1,400,000 logs. 
But the exploitation has been but trifling compared with 
the great resources thus indicated. In 1873, for example, 
the Crown forests did not deliver more than about 600,000 
logs and trunks. 
At the end of 1875 the number of sawmills, including 
some designed for the supply of local requirements, but 
these were not many, was as follows in the different 
governments :—
