It is in- tended also to try out the use of aerial cameras in mapping forests. The possibilities of this work are most promising. The flying boat type has been regarded as being most applicable to the conditions accom- panying forest patrol in the province of Quebec where lakes and rivers are almost always within reach as convenient landing stations or in case of accidents. From the point of view of the Canadian Forestry Association, the confidence expressed by returned aviators in the effcacy of aerial patrol of forest areas and the ease of forest mapping called for immemdiate experi- mental trials. No one having to do with the securing of the Dominion-owned machines for use in Central Quebec has the temerity to ad- vocate aerial patrol as a cure-all for forest fires nor anything but a probably useful auxil- iary to present means of fire detection. Re- cently the Government of Ontario requested from the officials of Argyll House, London, an estimate of the cost of a system of aeroplanes for use in the forested districts of Northern Ontario. Instead of mapping out a modest ex- perimental plan, the officials of Argyll House concocted an elaborate and highly expensive scheme whereby the Government of Ontario might easily be called upon to pay out close to one million dollars during the first year. Quite properly the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests rejected the scheme implying thereby no adverse opinion of possible advantages of earial patrol for Ontario. The Quebec experiments will probably determine to a material degree the adoption of aeropl
