Abstract
THE manual under notice was written by order of the Indian Government. The work covers the syllabus of the course of study at the Imperial Forest School of Dehra Dun, but, in addition to this, there is much useful information included, giving the book a wider scope than the necessarily limited one of a syllabus of systematic instruction. The manual has been divided into eight parts. The separate parts deal with the following subjects:—(1) building materials; (2) building construction; (3) road making; (4) bridges; (5) transport of timber; (6) wells; (7) construction of embankments and water channels, river training works; (8) demarcation of forests.
