relating to the technology of the existing known timbers, their suitability
for various uses, and the development of markets. The development of
forest industries is urgently called for and will need a good deal of in-
vestigation and research work in order that standard methods may be
adapted to local conditions and to available raw produce. The labora-
tories of the Research Institute are far from fully equipped at present,
but fresh equipment is arriving every day and large orders have been
placed abroad. It can be confidently expected that in the near future the
Institute, which is now situated at Abbottabad, will be one of the finest
organizations of its kind in the East. A Forest Products Laboratory is
under construction at Chittagong in East Pakistan, to deal with the forest
products of that area.Along with the Forest Research Institute, there is also a college which
provides training for professional and subprofessional. staff. This college
was started in 1947 at Upper Topa in the Murree Hills of the Punjab,
but along with the Research Institute, it has also been removed to Ab-
bottabad, which has a more salubrious climate. It is expected that the
college will play a leading part in training forest officers for the whole of
southwest Asia,' and students are already coming to it from abroad. It
has recently been decided to move both the college and the institute to
Peshawar.
