The large amount of expenditure on improvement (capital ac- 

 count?) is particularly noticeable. On the whole, this showing 

 differs but little from the preceding year (briefed in F, Q., xiii, 

 p. 406), the net income being slightly less. The lowest forest 

 per cent for a single revier figures out .12, the highest 4.15. 

 This time only six reviers remain below 1 per cent as against 

 10 in the previous year, but also only two bring over 4 per cent 

 as against 7 in the previous year. 



The fact that not the actual capital investment, but a present 

 sale value is the basis for finance calculation renders it impos- 

 sible to figure the real profitableness of the business. 



Compared with 10 years ago, the net income, with nearly the 

 same cut, has increased over 40 per cent, the expenditures only 

 12 per cent, and the expenditures for improvement have increased 

 over 50 per cent.

1913 for the total Kingdom. 



The age class distribution is given for the different species. It 

 shows decidedly an excess in old stands for the age class over 

 120 years, which a few years ago was charged against the State
