n. The demand was so great that the entireedition was soon distributed and none are available for distribution atpresent. The map should be corrected by adding recently acquired Stateland, and a new edition should be printed. Our map of the Catskill Preserve is entirely out of date, and in somerespects wrong. The last edition of this map was prepared and printed in1899, but since that time 55,000 acres of land have been acquired in thepark, nearly doubling the area of State land at that time. We have alsofound that in a few cases the allotments used were not the correct ones. Asa result we are at a great disadvantage in properly conducting both ouroffice and field work. The Forest Preserve, even though a small portion of the total area ofthe State, has been of immeasurable value in protecting our watersheds,preventing floods, storing water, affording one of the great health andpleasure resorts of the continent, and has aided materially in helping tomaintain the supremacy of the State.
