INCIDENTAL to a study which
the Forest Service has been
= making of the pigmy forests in
southern California. many curious
and interesting facts have been as
eertained. They are, ii appears,
true forests, but composed OF oaks
and other kinds of trees, which,
owing to deficiency of moisture and
other adverse conditions, have be-
come dwarfs.
Such "eltin woods" are found in
several parts of the world. In
South America they occur in the
coast region of Chile; in Europe
and Asia along the borders of the
Mediterranean and eastward into
Turkestan: in Africa on a small
area to the west OF the Cape OF

A characteristic tree Of the pigmy
forest in southern California is the

the botanist as querous dumosa,
which, under fayoring conditions,
