Abstract
THE activities of the Forest Research Institute at Dehra Dun, India, are summarized in a report entitled “Forest Research in India and Burma, Part 1, 1938–39”. The work of the various branches of the Institute is described and the report forms a record of a large amount of useful work carried out in the interests of the State. Apart from research work, an enormous number of queries relating to the utilization of various forest products has kept the staff extremely busy during the year. It is noteworthy that all the provinces of India now employ an officer solely dealing with sylvicultural problems. The co-ordination of this work and advising on statistical requirements, in order to make the best use of the researches going on, have taxed the Sylvicultural Branch of the Institute severely.
