DEMARCATION OF DIVISIONS. 303

 major ride (B\ The slopes are treated under the compart- 

 ment system, and they are divided into two parts by the major

The division would probably be somewhat on the following 

 lines :

Working II. = Selection System. 

 Comprises compartments 7, 8, and 9. 



The cutting .direction would be from east to west, a direction 

 which is indicated by the numbering of the compartments. 



The coupes in compartments 1 to 6 run at right angles to 

 the major rides NLj and fC\ or up and down the hill side, as. 

 it is generally objectionable to let the coupes run horizontally, 

 even from the top gradually downwards. 



8. Demarcation of the Divisions of a Forest. 



It is generally desirable that all interior boundary lines. 

 should be demarcated by boundary marks so that they can 

 be recognized, if they should have become obliterated in con- 

 sequence of cuttings, windfalls, etc. For this purpose boundary 

 marks may be placed at all points, where rides cross, or where 

 they show an angle. If straight rides are very long, it is useful 

 to place intermediate marks at suitable distances. Such marks 

 are placed on one side of the rides, so that they may not 

 interfere with the transport of the produce ; it is useful to
