 Washington, D. C, May 15, 1905. 

 Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith a manuscript entitled 

 "Terms used in Forestn^ and Logging," prepared in cooperation with 

 the Society of American Foresters, and to recommend its publication 

 as Bulletin No. 61 of the Bureau of Forestry. 



The publication of this bulletin in its present form would have been 

 impossible without the cooperation of many lumbermen, and of prac- 

 tically all the trained foresters in the United States. 

 Very respectfully,
