Abstract
THE fifteenth number of Sylva (published by tho Edinburgh University Forestry Society, 1934-35), the annual journal of the Edinburgh University Forestry Socioty, fully maintains the standard which this publication has achieved. Among the professional articles may be included ‘ ‘Impressions of British Forestry”, in which some interesting criticisms aro made by H. E. Marees, and a second on “The Forests of Denmark”, by N. Bang. Forestry in the Empire is represented by articles on “Forest Research in Trinidad”, in which C. Swabey treats of the considerable progress made in this direction in recent years; the “Problem of Forestry in Southern Rhodesia”, an article recommended to those interested in that portion of tho Empire. Afforestation on the Bauchi Plateau of Northern Nigeria, by J. Dundas, and preliminary notes for a working plan of woodbush forests in South Africa, by C. C. Stapleton, are also discussed. Allusion is also made to the visit paid to West Africa in 1934 by Prof. E. P. Stebbing, during which he saw something of tho forests of a number of British and French Colonies, returning home via the Sahara.
