Part M,—^^t STtmber of UPtcotsleUmtous Evtea. 



I NOW pass to the consideration of the principal 

 Timber trees of the British Empire and other parts of 

 the world, commencing with those known to the 

 forester generally as " Broad- leafed" trees — in contra- 

 distinction to the " Keedle-leafed " trees of the Conifers 

 — and to the botanist as Dicotyledons. These are the 

 ordinary foliage-trees of the forests of all countries, 

 and for the sake of practical convenience only, they will 

 be taken more or less in order of their importance 

 as met with in the various quarters of the globe, be- 

 ginning with the trees of Europe, and passing on to 

 those of America, Asia, etc., and especially those of our 

 Colonies.
