Abstract
IN connexion with the article on the above subject which appeared in NATURE of Nov. 16, I should like to explain that the words “Towards the end of 1900 the first research work by the Forest Department was commenced, when a member of the forest staff was appointed”, referred to the fact that this was the first whole-time appointment made with the object of undertaking a definite line of research. Executive officers of the Department had been engaged upon research work before (and after) 1900 in addition to their own duties, as exemplified by the valuable work done by the late Sir D. Brandis, J. S. Gamble, and many others. When the Research Institute was incorporated in 1906, all the research officers were drawn from the gazetted ranks of the Department.
