Remarks. 

 Section VI. — Survey of Reserves. 



36. The opposite of this article will show the necessity of 

 marking out the reserves before the disposition of the neigh- 

 bouring lands. The reason for the two officers work in «• 

 together is to insure that, while the proposed reserve will 

 include all the land that is needful, all land unnecessary for 

 reserve will be excluded. 



37. Remarks on this article are needless. 



38. The aneroid is mentioned on account of its handiness, and 

 while generally correct, it would require to be tested occasion- 

 ally. There can be no objection to the theodolite being used. 



39. Government being the controlling authority, it is essen- 

 tial that it be in possession of every detail respecting a reserve, 

 in order to form correct opinions on all matters connected with 

 reserves. 



40. A plan such as this will not only elucidate report, but it 

 will assist in the formation of correct ideas on the subject, 

 frequently presenting to the mind ideas that otherwise mioht 

 not occur, and showing the necessity of forming a reserve in 

 the place specified. 



41. When a particular reserve is mentioned, this will indi- 

 cate its situation, and as three kinds of reserves are suggested, 

 a different colour would at once point out each kind on the 

 plan. 



42. These plans are necessary, and will be of immense 

 advantage in facilitating forest work of all kinds. 



43. Plans being made under superintendence of the Sur- 

 veyor-General, will ensure their correctness. 



44. Necessity of these particulars is evident. 



45. 46, and 47. The aim of these articles is to prevent 

 spurious plans being used. 



48. This will be of advantage in reporting on any occur- 

 rence, and submitting evidence to a magistrate. 



49 and 50. The numbering of the reserves and plans, the 

 corresponding of these numbers throughout, and registering 

 the plans, will be found of no small advantage for reference, 

 &c, in all matters connected with forest preservation, and 

 being so, it seems better to provide for this by law, than to 

 leave it to the option of an officer, however intelligent or 

 methodical he may be.
