THE MAP. 



This has been compiled in the Forest Survey Office 1 

 chiefly from the topographical map of Bengal (Scale 16 

 miles to 1 inch) and the forest survey maps of the reserved 

 and protected forests of Chota Nagpur. Reserved foiests 

 are shown in green, protected forests in deep red, and other 

 forest tracts in light red. The distribution of the last has 

 been taken from the excellent small map published with the 

 Report on Forest Administration in the Chota Nagpur 

 Division by Dr. W. Schlich (1885), and are only approximate. 

 The Santal Parganahs were not included in that report, and 

 the general light colouration of so much of the eastern poitione 

 of that district is an error. It should be remembered that 

 many of the tributary estates now shown in the east of the 

 Central Provinces were formerly in Chota Nagpur (see 

 p. 1), and though they contain much forest this could not be 

 depicted for want of precise information. The map is primarily 

 intended to display the physical features of the area dealt 

 with in the Flora, and to mark the position of the localities 

 referred to. There are, however, some omissions owing to the 

 impossibility of accurately fixing a number of these. Names 

 printed thus led a are the names of Forest Blocks. 



The following names mentioned in the introduction are 

 omitted from the Map : — 



Baragori or Baragai Hill. — On the Ranchi-Hazfiribagh 

 border, south of Ramgarh, on the Damodar ghats. 



Khuria plateau. — In northern Jashpur.
