Excerpt from Annual Report of the Division of Forestry for 1887 Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith my second annual report, outlining in part the work which the Forestry Division has undertaken or accomplished within the past year and the plan of work which it is desirable to pursue in future. The report also con tains a brief account of the forestry. Conditions and forestry interests in each of the several States and Territories of the Union and, inci dentally, such advice in the pursuance of practical forestry as the limited space at command would admit. The work of the Division in the main is to act as a bureau of information. Hitherto such information has naturally consisted in a recital of the methods of forest administration which prevail in Europe and other countries and a presentation of the needs of our country in general, based upon an imperfect knowledge of its forest conditions.
