Abstract
THE idea of issuing a journal in Nigeria or for West Africa generally on the lines of the Indian Forester was mooted several years ago. Last year saw a realization when two numbers of the Nigerian Forester were published in July and November. The editor appears to be somewhat diffident about the appearance of a new publication in war-time. The paper devoted to its publication, however, is very far from being wasted, for some of the articles appearing in the first number are both timely and of interest. With one exception, where the exotic trees of the Cameroons are dealt with by D. R. Rosevear, the articles in the first number deal with either Northern or Southern Nigeria and present a wide variety of problems. In the second number, in addition to some general articles such as “Termites and Soil Fertility”, “Work in the Veterinary Department, Nigeria”, and “Some Applications of Grassland Ecology”, subjects such as “The Gold Coast Timber Industry” and “First Impressions of Forestry in Sierra Leone” are dealt with.
