A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF FORESTRY IN CALIFORNIA.

INTRODUCTION.

This bibliography of forestry in California attempts to bring together such books, official reports and articles in periodicals as may appear serviceable to the forester or the non-professional student. It does not include the exceedingly large amount of popular writing designed to further the adoption of protective measures, nor descriptive matter of primarily a literary character. Even in its chosen field, it does not pretend to be exhaustive. Important data and discussions, especially in dendrology and forest description, will be found scattered through innumerable botanical, geological, and other scientific books and periodicals. To gather them would involve an amount of labor quite disproportionate to the harvest thus to be collected.

There are a number of periodicals quite indispensable to the student of California forestry, which have not been analyzed because they are provided with such excellent indices, that their California articles may be readily found. Among these are:

Garden and Forest.

The Forestry Quarterly.

Forestry and Irrigation. (This periodical was in its earlier

volumes known as The Forester. The publishers have
recently announced the contemplated change of name.
to Conservation.)

Water and Forest.

The trade papers dealing with lumbering and other forest industries will, of course, not be neglected by the student. The most important of these are The American Lumberman (formerly Northwestern Lumberman), and Pacific Coast Wood and Iron.

In the office of the State Forester at Sacramento numerous manuscript notes on California forestry are being collected. In the State Library at Sacramento newspaper clippings on this subject are preserved.

NOTE.

The forestry stations at Santa Monica and Chico were at first under the supervision of the old State Board of Forestry, and reports on their operations are inserted in the four biennial reports of that body. The act abolishing that board (Statutes 1893, p. 229) transferred them to the University of California, and further reports were issued as university publications.
