rotation, where the soil and situation are Quality I. (for details 

 see Chapter XL) the rental may be arrived at in the following 

 manner : 



Receipts at the end of each rotation : 



200 cub. ft. of Oak * 16 14 o 



473 cub. ft. of Larch * 2340 



255 cub. ft. of Ash* 18 4 o 



= (say) ^58 o o 

 Underwood (mixed underwood) cut for sale . 500 



63 o o 



* The cost of felling the timber is balanced by the sale of the cordwood, etc., 

 below 6 inches quarter girth.

* The capital left in the land is presumed to be the same at the end of each

Now, on the 4 per cent, tables, this equals a yearly pay- 

 ment of i, 193. 3d.

 the land, at the end of each rotation. 



This capital left at the end of each rotation equals :
