Green and Abbott’s Wood taken in hand. Any reasonable 
outlay on roads is always more than repaid by increased prices 
of the timber and cordwood sold from the adjoining areas. 
5. ARRANGEMENT OF CUTTING AREAS. 
The underplanting of the first-class oak should commence on 
the eastern edge of Straits Inclosure and proceed at the rate of 
I5 acres a year towards the west. When this inclosure has 
been completed, the blocks of first-class oak in Abbott’s Wood 
and Goose Green may be taken in hand. The arrangement is 
so simple that it was not necessary to indicate it on the map. 
The arrangement of coupes in Glenbervie, Willow’s Green, 
and Abbott’s Wood for the next twenty years, has been indicated 
on the map. There are ro coupes in Glenbervie, 5 in Willow’s 
Green, and 5 in Abbott’s Wood. Coupes Nos. 1 and 2 in 
Glenbervie, No. 3 in Willow’s Green, No. 4 in Abbott’s Wood, 
Nos. 5 and 6 in Glenbervie, No. 7 in Willow’s Green, No. 8 in 
Abbott’s Wood, and so on up to 20 coupes. The areas are not 
always exactly 15 acres, as it was desirable to take in corners 
situated between rides. All these coupes are so arranged that 
cutting and planting proceeds from east towards west, or north- 
east towards south-west, so that no difficulties will be encountered 
hereafter when cuttings in the coniferous woods commence. As 
much third-class oak as possible has been included in these twenty 
coupes, as well as intersecting parts of second-class oak, to be 
dealt with as indicated under 2. 
The coppice-woods and third-class oak in Lodge Inclosure 
will be dealt with during the next twenty years, as indicated 
under 4 (a) and (b). 
6. CONTROL OF OPERATIONS. 
An accurate account of all operations should in future be kept 
in a separate book. Each of the seven blocks should receive a 
number of separate pages, where the quantities of material 
removed, the price realised per unit of measurement, the total 
receipts and the expenditure are recorded year after year. In 
addition, the area planted, and the cost of planting, as well as 
that of other works, should be put on record. The information 
had best be given in a tabular form. . . .}
