 APPENDIX III. 



Extract from letter No. 221 W. P., dated Calcutta, the 8th December 1896, from B. RIBBENTROP, 

 Esq., C.I.E., Inspector-General of Forests to the Government of India, to the Conservator 

 of Forests, Northern. Circle, Central Provinces. 



3. I do not altogether disagree in the classification adopted in paragraph 6 of the 

 memorandum as a means of obtaining a bird's-eye view of the forest areas which we have to 

 deal with. But I entirely disapprove of the information thus obtained being taken as the 

 sole basis of future management. It is essential that each Working Circle should, as far as 

 it is feasible, be formed of compact, easily managed forest areas, and not consist of a chess- 

 board of areas subject to entirely different rules of management. 



7. As regards your proposal to rewrite all the plans I would suggest that the plans for 



* To Secretary to the ^ or one or ^ wo se l e ted ranges be re-constructed in the light of these 



Chief Commissioner, Cem- remarks and of this office letter No. 121 *W. P., dated 28th June 1895, 



tral Provinces. (Copy en- and submitted to me for criticism as preliminary reports, together with 



dosd). the original plans drawn up for the same area.
