and after the expiry of this period such portions thereof which, in the opinion of the Conser- 

 vator, have not been fully worked over, should be brought forward as an unworked balance 

 in the Control Forms. Such unworked areas should be worked over before a fresh coupe is 

 opened. Should the coupes be worked departmentally dare should be taken to restrict felling 

 to a certain specific portion of the coupe which is deemed to be sufficient to meet the 

 demand and which may happen to fall short of the prescribed possibility. All collection of 

 timber in depots in anticipation of a demand not presently apparent is to be deprecated. Dead 

 trees have not been included in the possibility, they may be removed annually over the whole 

 area according as the Conservator may see fit. 



42. The total area of sal forest is 18,672 acres of which 1 29 acres consist of small isolated 



clumps or are situated in inaccessible positions and have therefore 

 or A erfodican e ^^ aDnua " y been excluded from the felling areas. Similarly 2,572 acres of 



sal have been excluded for sylvicultural reasons. The balance of 



acres 15,971 have been divided into 30 annual coupes. From an eye estimate it has been 

 calculated that the maximum total yield is 19,084 stems which divided by 30 gives a mean 

 annual yield of 636 stems. It has not been possible to arrange the coupes so as to fix the 

 annual yields exactly at this figure, but compatible with questions of transport and working 

 this has been done as far as possible. Each coupe has been made to consist of one or more 

 entire compartments.

Dead trees/have not been included in the possibility. It is estimated that the yield of 

 dead trees of 3 feet girth and over will be about i tree to every 4-4 acres. 



43. As part of the Kisli block has already (in 1901) been worked over to the extent of 



4 coupes, it was deemed best to proceed and work out the Kisli

block before proceeding to the Kanha block, more especially as 

 the Kisli block is the most accessible and easily worked of the blocks. It is, moreover, on 

 account of its rich and vigorous growing stock specially indicated for early working on 

 sylvicultural grounds. Turning now to annual coupes these have been arranged primarily in 

 order to facilitate transport so that all the coupes adjoining a road are worked out successive- 

 ly before proceeding elsewhere, where another road would have to be made. Secondary to 

 transport, sylvicultural requirements have been taken into consideration in allotting the 

 coupes.

The following is a tabular statement of the fellings to be made :
