lExTRACT FROM LETTER to the author from Lieut. -Col. J. Campbell 

 Walker, Conservator of Forests, Madras, then Conservator-in-Chief of 

 Forests, New Zealand ; author of Report on Slate Forests and Forest 

 Management in Germany and Austria :—' I am in receipt of yours, 

 along with the notices of your works on Forestry, by book post. 

 I .think very highly of the scope of the works, and feel sure that they 

 and similar works will supply a want much felt by the Indian forest 

 officers. 



' It contains many important data which I should have vainly sought 

 elsewhere, and it will be regarded by all competent judges as a real 

 substantial contribution to a knowledge of the existing surface, and the 

 changes which, from known or unknown causes, that surface is fast 

 undergoing. ' 



Copies of any of these Works will be sent post-paid to 

 any address within direct Postal communication with 

 Britain, on receipt by Dr John C. Brown, Haddington, 

 of a Post-Office Order for the price.
