Dry Belt, the Monsoon Forests, and the Evergreen Forests. In the discussion on Geology and Soil it is pointed out that climate and soil in Burma tend to counteract one another, and the same formations of vegetation are inclined to reappear on different soils under different climatic conditions. The soil on the whole indicates the local distribution both of forest types and of species. The Vegetation Types are grouped under Mountain Vegetation (3000 feet and above) with six divisions, and Lowland Vegetation (below 3000 feet) with twenty-five divisions. Four serai communities are also mentioned. A chapter on the geology with its special significance for forestry in Burma, and a bibliography, complete the treatise. The book is profusely illustrated with photographs and outline maps. The excellent aerial photographs especially are of considerable value in the dis? cussion on the tidal areas. The work will be welcomed as a general review, and will provide a starting-point for more detailed research into the structure and development of the vegetation of Burma. T. F. C
