WAIPOUA KAURI FOREST
Sir, —Scientists visiting our country for only a short period cannot be expected to understand at once the working of cause and effect in our native forest. Scientific observers in the past have realised that in the kauri forest there are infinitely more tawa and taraire seedlings than kauri seedlings. Therefore, unless there are extraordinary preventive measures, if many full-grown kauri trees are removed within a comparatively short time, the former kauri forest will become a tawa or a taraire forest.— Yours, etc., NATURE LOVER. February 17, 1949.
