In other parts it was traversed by iittlfa and big 55 different species, of which seventeen had not been met 

 streams, confluents of the main river, and now and with before. There were 268 trees, 6 feet girth and over, 

 rhen by small swamps. When well drained, and not in all; and these contained 45,326 cubic feet of timber, 

 too rocky, fair stands of timber were met with. Here which works out at an average of 435 cubic feet per 



and 169 cubic feet per tree. Turning to Table 

 VIII. we find that, of the species each representing 

 more than 5 per cent of the total cubic contents, ilimo 

 comes first with 41 trees, cubing 14,245 ; medobi second; 



it was I encountered heavy ilimo stands, and the one acre 



I have summarized on 



.1 



page 7 occurred near my 



second camp. Rising from the alluvial country up the 

 hills, the timber gets smaller and more scattered; at 

 1,500 feet a number of new species are met with, and sihu third, and okaka fourth. 



Together these 



the forest, while still of a rain forest type, now contains 

 a fewer number of species, and here acorns begin to 

 be seen scattered on the ground; this is the beginning 

 of the oak forests. 



The close proximity of the hills makes the area of 

 tvpical alluvial-soil-niin-foivst small. The strip the latter comparatively rare, 

 survey was carried out in such a way as to take in all .. How are the various species that make up the grow- 



species, though only represented by 84 



per cent, of the growing stock — contain 



cent, of the total cubic contents of the 



valuable species, nara and ete are of special interest, 



though the former is small in volume per tree, and 



four 

 trees- — or 31 

 over 50 per 

 stand. Of 



the alluvial flat, and a long narrow strip up the hill 

 slopes. The survey, which covered an area of 104 acres, 

 may be taken as representing 2,000 acres of the same 

 tv*»e of forest. The data will be found in Tables VII., 



ing stock of the forest divided between the alluvial 



land by the river banks and the hills? 



The answer 



to this question, unfortunately, reveals a stale of affairs 

 which makes the commercial working of the forests 



VIII., and IX. Tl will be seen that the strips contained om this part of the Vanapa a precarious venture.
