The Raichur felling series of the Dhooma Working Circle will be divided 

 into compartments on receipt of 4* s:ale maps from the Forest Survey of India. 



The following table indicates how the bamboo circles are to be exploited 



SUPPLEMENTARY REGULATIONS. 

 Cleanings, thinnings or other 49. At present the necessity for no such operations 



improvement fellings. j s required. 



50. Climbers are not numerous, but wherever found would be removed by 

 the Forest Staff in the open compartments of the year. 



51. It is proposed that Circles Nos. I, IV and VII shall be gradually 

 ,, closed to grazing as worked over, and protected from 



Grazing. . . * . V r i i -n 



cattle for a period of 10 years, which will eventually result 



in one-third of each circle being closed and two-thirds of the same being always 

 open to grazing. Under this arrangement the following minimum areas will 

 always be opened to grazing : 



Area. 



Two-thirds of Circles Nos. I, IV and VII 96,036 acres. 



Whale of the G azing Circles N ,s. II, V and VIII ... 44,900 

 Whole of the Unworkable Circl s Nos. Ill, VI and IX 41,329 



To'al .. 182,265 



Distributing this area over 101,390 head of cattle (vide Appendix E) 

 grazing annually gives r8 acres per head. In addition to the above there are 

 21,158 acres of B-I class forests as shown in para. 18 supra and 252,416 acres 

 of malguzari and ryotwari forests as detailed in Appendix E. 



The demand for grazing is entirely for local cattle, the nomadic classes very 

 rarely visit these forests. The grazing of sheep and goats is prohibited. 



Sowings, plantings or other 52. It is not proposed to resort lo any sowings, &c., 



work, special to each circle. during the first rotaiion. 



53. Roads will have to be constructed from the coupes to the Nerbada to 

 Roads facilitate the removal of produce to be floated down- the 



river lo Jubbulpore. No permanent roads are required 



as the people are not accustomed to use carts. The paths will have to be 

 repaired in several cases. 



54. A better class of buildings is absolutely necessary for the Rangers, 

 Buildings Sub Rangers and Guards. It is therefore proposed to 



build one Ranger's, eight Sub-Rangers' and 30 Guards' 



quarters at a cost of Rs. 300, 150 and 50 each respectively during the first 10 

 years of the rotation. 



55. Each compartment in the felling series as soon as it is worked over to 

 Fire-protection. b . e Drou S ht under systematic protection. Partial protec- 

 tion to be gradually extended during the first 10 years 



over the rest of the working circles and the unworkable circle, as grass will be 

 grazed over and protection would be an easy task. 



Boundaries. .5 6 - Boundaries will be kept cleared and posts 



repaired annually where necessary.
