PRE-HISTORIC FORESTS.
By Telegraph—Press Association CHRISTOHUKCH, October 2.
Mr Dobson, the city surveyor, 1 states that he has frequently come across the remains of forest trees 1 when pipe laying in the streets. It ; was unusual to find timber at a great depth, and apparenly there was once a very dense forest at the font of the Cashmere Hills, where a sump was | sunk in connection with the high water supply Mr Dobson found there quite an underground timber yard. The wood was in excellent condition, a totara stump standing upright, and very many years.old, had its bark still on it. The burn wwas stripped off. and .the stumps used for posts.
