Forests Of Porto Rico PDF Download

Excerpt from Notes on the Forest Conditions of Porto Rico Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith a, report entitled N otes on the Forest Conditions of Porto Rico, by Mr. Robert T. Hill, of the United States Geological Survey, and to recommend its publication as Bulletin No. 25 of this Division? While the report is in no sense hmal or complete, it contains a preliminary statement sufficiently full to answer the great majority of questions of immediate interest con cerning forestry in Porto Rico. It embraces the results of observations made during a rapid recon'noissance through the military department of Porto Rico by Mr. Bill in J an uary, 1899, during Which he became familiar With its forests, and by inquiry among various persons engaged in wood-working trades obtained valuable information as to the quali ties and uses of the native timbers. The report contains not only a, clear statement of the forest resources of Porto Rico and the extent of its timber lands, but also such succinct descriptions of the physical features of the island as are necessary for an understanding of its forest problems.
