4. Notes regarding Future Treatment. 



While dra^Ying up a description of each wood, it is very 

 desirable to note down an^^ observations, which may strike the 

 forester regarding the future treatment. Such notes are, of 

 course, only of a preliminary nature, because a final decision 

 on the future treatment to be followed can be arrived at only, 

 after the management of the whole forest, or working section, 

 has been laid down. Nevertheless, they are a great help 

 during the progress of the work. 



It is not possible to give a complete list of the points, which 

 should be attended to, as they differ according to circum- 

 stances ; the following may, however, be enumerated : — 



(a.) Filling up the existing wood ; if so, the area to be treated 

 and the species to be grown should be given ; also the 

 method of sowing, planting, or other cultural operations.
