Excerpt from Timber and Botany, B: Comprising Seven Reports on the Forests and Botany of Different Parts of the State
It being necessary to publish a new edition of the Reports of the Geological Survey, it is thought proper to change the arrangement of the reports in the several volumes. This is advisable in order to bring together in one volume the several reports relating to a given subject or locality. In the first edition (second series) the volumes were made up of reports, regardless of subjects treated, and in order to learn all that may be published of a locality, the reader must examine several volumes. For instance, the reports on the iron ores and the iron manufacture of Green up, Carter, Boyd, and Lawrence counties is in volume i, and the Report on the Geology of the above named counties is in volume 2. The Chemical Reports and the reports on the Timbers are scattered through four I Volumes. This arrangement of reports could not have been avoided in the early history of the Survey without a delay Sin the publication of the volumes. It is thought that the arrangement in this edition will more fully meet the wants of the public, and will render the reports more valuable.
The first volumes of this edition will comprise the following: Chemical Analyses, Reports on the Eastern Coal! Field; Reports on the Western Coal Field; Reports on Timbers. Other volumes will be published from time to time, preserving the same order of grouping reports. Some of the preliminary reports contained in the first edition have been omitted, in order that there may be no duplication when the final reports are published.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a snapshot of the forests and timbers found in four counties in Eastern Kentucky. The author has taken a scientific approach to describing the abundance of different species, their distribution, and even their geological distribution. The book is part of a larger project to gather data on the forests of Kentucky to inform future use of the resource, and to encourage preservation of valuable timber and forestland areas. The book discusses the economic uses of the different species, such as for iron making and use as fuel, but also emphasizes the ecological importance of forests, such as providing a habitat for wildlife and controlling water runoff. Far from being a dry academic text, the author provides information on the history of the local forests, noting the impact of Native Americans on the landscape and the changes that occurred when settlers arrived. The book will be of interest to anyone who enjoys the outdoors, is concerned about the environment, or wants to learn more about the natural history of their home state.
