Abstract
BEFORE retiring from the Indian Forest Service the author obtained the sanction of Government to the publication of this volume, which contains a brief description of the forests and a sketch of the introduction and growth of forestry in the British Indian Empire. In the preface he says: “My career in the Indian Forest Service has extended over thirty-three years, and though I was not in the country when regular forest conservancy was first introduced, I arrived when it was still quite a small sapling, and I have seen it grow to the mighty tree it is at present, under the wide-spreading shadow of which I have grown old.”
