Although the forests of Cyprus were delimited with an area of 703-
square miles in 1892 they now comprise an area of 652.8 square miles.
They are situated on the two main ranges of mountains :—
(a) the southern range, extending across the south-western end of
the Island, from Stavrovouni to Cape Akamas ; and
(b) the northern range, running from Cape Andreas to Cape
Kormakiti. Except at the western end, where there are 15 square
mile3 of forest, the forests on the northern range' are confined to the
hill tops.
There are eight main forests, namely:
(1) Paphos
(2) Troodos ... ... ...
(3) Adelphi
'.
(4) Machaera
(5) Kormakiti, Ayia Erini, and Diorios
(6) Kartal Dagh & Melandrina. Blocks
(7) Limassoi
(8) Karmi, Lapithos, Korno, Hamilo,

Of these 74.50 square miles are either bare, burnt,"cut-over" or
comprise rocky, river bed, road, path or other non-forest-bearing areas.
There are also mixed timber and scrub forests covering a total
area of 241.76 square miles of which 120.00 square miles are rocky,.
bare, burnt or " cut-over," road, path or river bed areas.
The principal forest trees are :—
Pinus Halepensis; Pinus Nigra, Subsp. (Pallasiana); Cupressus
Sempervirens; Quercus Alnifolia; Platauus Orientalis ; Alnus
Orientalis ; Cedrus B-evitolia ; Arbutus Andrachne.
There are seven Saw Mills situated in the forests and one in Nicosia
which partially meet the timber requirements of the Island.
Planks, boards, scantlings and rafters are chiefly cut, but also wooden
implements, such as shovels and forks, and cart material, such as
felloes and spokes, are also made.

forest operations and exploitation of the forest products are con–
ducted by the Forest Department.
