The report contains a great deal of information of the utmost value to the lumbering industry in Nova Scotia and affords the first example in Can- ada of a complete stock-taking of the forest re- sources of any of the provinces. That the ex- ample will be followed by other provinces is great- ly to be hoped. We take pleasure in reproducing some of the most important passages from the re- port. Dealing with the species of trees occurring in Nova Scotia, the report classifies them as follows:— Species of Forest Trees Occurring in Nova Scotia A.

Red Pine (Pinus resinosa) is found only occasionally on gravelly soils, especially of granite origin, and on practically all sandy plains. If, in one place more common than
