square ends of the logs are rounded; so both combatants 
retain marks of the strife.’ 
Like pictures might be cited from Rambles in Norway,

In the Revue des Eaux et Foréts is given an extract from 
a report of M. de Reujoux, Consular Agent of France at 
Christiania, On the exportation of wood from Norway, 
which had appeared in the Bulletin Consulaire Francais, 
of which the following is a translation :—‘The exportation 
of wood from Norway in the year 1880 amounted to 
894,816 tons. England occupies the first place, with an 
increase over 1879 of 156,498 tons— viz., 33,345 tons of 
planed wood, 37,564 tons of sawn wood, 85,589 tons of spars 
and mine props of two dimensions. Then comes France, 
with an augmentation over 1879 of 26,567 tons—viz., 
planed wood, 4,355 tons ; sawn wood, 17,967 tons ; beams, 
2,639 tons; staves, 1,608 tons. The exportation to Ger- 
many has considerably fallen off, owing to the rigorous en- 
forcement of protective duties since the 1st October 1879, 
leading to a decrease of 23,599 tons in 1880, chiefly in 
planed wood. 
‘Norway has founda new outlet for its timber produce in 
Holland, in consequence of the abolition of impost, which 
impost formerly rendered exports to this country almost 
impossible. During the year 1880 about two-thirds of the 
wood sent to Holland merely passed through it in transit 
to Germany. Consequently, of the 38,942 tons sent to 
Holland, only 19,862 tons could be assigned to the trade 
in Holland. 
‘With regard to Australia, it is impossible to supply pre- 
cise numbers, seeing that England sends thither much of 
what she herself imports from Norway. The direct ex- 
portation to Australia (11,575 tons) is considerably above 
that of 1870, which only amounted to 7,787 tons. The 
last three years (1878, 1879, and 1880) give a mean of 
6,382 tons.
