Excerpt from The Geographical Distribution of Forest Trees in Canada: With a Map The same signs or forms Of conventional lines have been retained for the several species in all the maps, and they have also been adopted where similar work has been done in adjacent parts Of the United States. Our present map covers the most important and interesting portion Of the great forest region Of Canada. Beyond this area the northern species extend to Alaska, and there are valuable forests west Of the prairies, in the Rocky mountains and British Columbia. But the northern group embraces only nine species, and the contours Of their limits are not' known to possess any peculiarities which cannot be described without a map. On the plains, trees Of any kind occur only in favoured situations, and the different species are scattered in such a way that it would be difficult to represent the boundaries Of their distribution on a map, while in British Columbia most Of the trees are Of different species from those east of the Rocky mountains, and they would require to be shown on a separate sheet.
