288 DIVISION AND ALLOTMENT OF THK FOHKST AKKA. 



The coupes in coiiijiartments 1 to (5 run at right angles to 



the major rides (^j and f ^ j, ov up and down the hill 



side, as it is generally objectionable to let the coupes run 

 horizontally, even from the top gradually downwards. 



8. Dcniarcaiion of tlic Dirisions of a Forest. 

 It is generally desirable, that all interior boundary lines 

 should be demarcated by boundary marks, so that they can 

 be recognised, if they should have become obliterated in 

 consequence of cuttings, windfalls, etc. For this purpose, 

 boundary marks may be placed at all points, where rides 

 cross, or where they show an angle. If straight rides are 

 very long, it is useful to place intermediate marks at suitable 

 distances. Such marks are placed on one side of the rides, so 

 that they may not interfere with the transport of the produce; 

 it is useful to choose always the same side, say the north side 

 of the major rides, and the east side of the minor rides. 



9. Namin[i and Numherintj of the Divisions of a Forest. 



The methods of naming and numbering the divisions ditier 

 much, Judeich recommends the following : — 



(a.) Working sections receive Eoman numbers = I.,II., . . . 

 (/>.) Cutting series receive names and slanting capital letters 



= A,B... 

 (c.) Compartments receive Arabic numbers = 1, 2 . . . 

 (d.) Sub-compartments receive small Roman letters = 



1. 1. . . 



(e.) Major rides receive upright capital letters surrounded 



by a circle = (aJ , Tb J . . . 

 (_/■.) Minor rides receive small Arabic figures surrounded by 



a circle = f 1 ;> ( ^ )
