Neither a survey similar to that made in Nova Scotia nor an investigation of forest resources similar to that made in British Columbia has yet been made for the province, but the work of collecting data concerning the forest area is being carried on every year. The text of the year book does not state on what information the following estimate is made, but as it is the first official statement published it must be accepted as such until confirmed by later information.

The present commercial forest is said to cover eighty million acres and to contain nine billion feet of pine on licensed lands, thir- teen and a half billion on Crown lands, and 350 million cords of pulpwood of which 250 millions are tributary to railways and water- ways. The potential forest area in the Laurentian region is estimat- ed at fifty million acres. South of the Height of Land the pine belt is estimated as above at fifteen or twenty billion board feet and the pulpwood at 200 million cords. The forest are
