COLLECTION OF STATISTICS. 



3. Description of Compartments. 



This description may be drawn up in a tabular form, or 

 otherwise ; the former is preferable, as it presents a more in- 

 telligible picture of the forest, and gives greater security that 

 nothing has been overlooked. It is quite impossible to recom- 

 mend any particular form for this table, but by way of illustra- 

 tion a form based upon those recommended by Judeich and 

 Heyer is given. (See form on previous pages.) 



In this table the quality of locality indicates that which 

 corresponds to the normal quality of the growing stock. The 

 real quality of the growing stock is given in decimals, the 

 normal quality being placed equal to 1. 



If the forest is worked on financial principles, further 

 columns must be added for the quantity and quality increment, 

 wherewith to calculate the forest per cent, and the forest capital.
