CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 3* the programme furnished by Dr. Fernow, Dean of the Faculty of Forestry of the University of Toronto. The object of the practice work in the field is two-fold, according to the statement of the programme, namely, to become familiar with the use of various in- struments and to collect data for a working plan. Work, therefore, was divided under three heads, namely, (1) surveys, including topo- graphy, location of camp and roads; (2) mensuration, including esti- mating, rate of growth, studies and construction of yield tables; (3) silvicultural studies, including forest description, silvica, reproduc- tion and marking out fellings and thinnings. Mr. A. H. D. Ross, of the Faculty of Forestry, supervised the survey and mensuration work, Dr. Howe was in charge of the silvicultural studies and prac- tice. In this field the class was, as a rule, divided into groups of two or four students, each group working independently, either as to area or character of work. The results were collected, tabulated and final- ly put together into a working plan report; the data gathered by each group conplementing each other was pooled, so as to secure in- formation covering a large area and a sufficient number of trees. Each student was required to keep a daily journal and not book re- cording the work performed, the time consumed and the data secured. The programme for the survey work covered six days, and in- cluded pacing and estimating distances and areas, preparation of a location map of the camp. Astronomical obseration to locate mag- netic declination, plane table and transit triangulation, lot surveying with transit and chain, staff compass and chain, and compass and pacing; topographic survey of 25 acre lots with 10 ft. contours by various methods; reconnaissance of 6,300 acres or 10 square miles; locating s
