Forestry Notes.

ment was made with much care and has everywhere been well 

 received. He was long familiar with the forests of the Pacific 

 Coast, his father being a well-known naturalist living for many 

 years in the vicinity of Mt. Rainier. He is a trained forester, as 

 the law requires, and was taken from the United States Forestry 

 Service, when appointed to his present position. He no doubt 

 has a great opportunity ; but the people of the State have a 

 greater one, and an even greater duty, in sympathetically aiding 

 and supporting their Forester. 



Publications American Forest Congress in January, 



1905, was a remarkable gathering in many ways. 

 It was one of the very few gatherings of specialists when a 

 President of the United States has entered the assembly as a 

 speaker. The proceedings of the Congress have been published in 

 a single volume by the American Forestry Association. 



While Forestry and Irrigation, the organ of the American 

 Forestry Association, is perhaps well known to may readers of 

 the Bulletin, probably few see the Forestry Quarterly, a journal 

 largely for the professional forester, but containing many articles 

 of a non-professional character. In number three of this year 

 Mr. E. A. Sterling gives an account of forest legislation in Cali- 

 fornia. He finds "that the recently enacted forest legislation in 

 California is the nearest approach to a model forest code yet 

 made and furnishes a foundation for a more perfect system than 

 has been inaugurated in any State." The Quarterly has many 

 reviews of articles and books relating to forestry both in Amer- 

 ica and in foreign countries. Dr. B. E. Fernow is the editor-in- 

 chief, and Professors Graves, Fisher, and Roth, respectively the 

 heads of the forestry instruction at Yale, Harvard, and Michigan, 

 are upon the board of editors. The journal is two dollars a year, 

 and published at Ithaca, N. Y.
