Excerpt from Report of the Select Committee Appointed by the Legislative Council to Consider the Colonial Botanist's Report

The Committee appointed b the Honourable the Legis lative Council to consider the Colonial Botanist's Report for 1864, beg leave to present their report.

Your Committee are of opinion that the information obtained from the evidence of the Colonial Botanist is of a valuable and, generally speaking, practical character.

From his unavoidable absence on an official tour, the Committee had it not in their power to complete their inquiries; but sufficient information was obtained to satisfy them that there exists a necessity for a change in the system of management of all the forests in the various parts of the Colony, - which, from their great extent, and the valuable timber contained in them, ought to be, and might be made, a source of revenue to the Colony; whereas the trifling amount now received from them is scarcely sufficient to cover the expense of their conservation.
