 d'Amance. Beech and 

 oak, an old coppioe-with- 

 standards forest, has been 

 aEowed to grow up and is 

 being converted into high 

 forest. This shows the 

 forest after first regenera- 

 tion felling, with a group 

 of oak seeedlings in left

The Landes, France. A 

 characteristic piece of 

 " protection belt." Near 

 the sea the blown sand 

 kills all the leading shoots 

 of the pines which assume 

 a creeping position. The 

 quality howevel rapidly 

 improves further from 

 the sea. (There is no 

 foreshortening in the pic- 

 ture). Received from 

 United Provinces Exhibi- 

 tion, AUahabad, 1910-11. 



The Landes, France, Com- 

 mercial forest of Pinus 

 maritima. Regeneration 

 of area by clear out- 

 ting, often of large area ; 

 advance growth is all cut 

 away the year before the 

 felling, seed being blown 

 on to the area of feUing 

 from the cones of the 

 trees. Regeneration 



sparse but strong. This 

 area had been felled 4 

 years previously. Re- 

 ceived from United Pro- 

 vinces Exhibition, Allah- 

 abad, 1910-11.
