No. 8i8-W. P., dated Simla, the iatb August 1905. 



From S. EARDLEY WILMOT, Esq., Inspector-General of Forests to the Govern- 

 ment of India, 



To The Hon'ble the Chief Commissioner of the Central Provinces. 



In accordance with Article 88 (i) of the Forest Department Code, I 

 have the honour to forward for your orders a working-plan for the forests of 

 the Banjar Valley Reserve, Mandla Forest Division, drawn up by Mr. A. A. 

 Dunbar Brander, Officiating Deputy Conservator of Forests, and received with 

 the Conservator's letter No. 2994, dated the i4th June last, a copy of which is 

 enclosed. 



2. The plan meets with my approval, and I recommend its adoption with 

 retrospective effect from the ist July 1904, the date from which fellings were 

 prescribed to begin. I would point out that the data on which the possibility 

 is based are apparently far from reliable, and that if in practice it is proved that 

 this is the case, it would be in the end both cheaper and more satisfactory if the 

 entire area were enumerated for Sal trees of the I and II classes and the felling 

 scheme revised in accordance with the results obtained.

 nal survey sheets submitted. 



3. A copy of my letter forwarding a draft Working-Plan Report to the Commissioner, 

 Jubbulpore Division, as well as a copy of his letter in reply is also enclosed.
