Excerpt from Pocket Guide to Alaska Trees Survey. For the national forest portions, Forest Service timber-cover data were consulted. The key for the identification of Alaska trees is in tended to bring out certain features wherein species or groups of species differ from each other. Descriptions of individual trees contained in the text itself show for each species the one or two outstanding characteristics by which it can almost invariably be identified. N o thorough - going study has ever been made of the Alaska habits of many of the trees, and no claim is made to a complete or perfect presentation here of range or habitat preference. It will be appreciated if those using this booklet will report corrections, particularly regarding range of trees, to the Forest Service at Juneau, Alaska. Grateful acknowledgment is made to J. P. Anderson of Juneau, for criticism and correction of the manu, script, and to L. J. Palmer, of College, Alaska, for cor rection of the tree-range map and for other assistance.
