But when judged from the staudpoint of size a quite different im- 

 pression is obtained. By tliat standard, we should note that of the 1,160 

 trees only 826 (about 71 per cent) reach merchantable size (30 centi- 

 meters in diameter), that 409 of these (35 per cent of the whole number 

 or 50 per cent of tliose that may reach merchantable size) are of one 

 botanical family (the Dipterocarpaceae) . 



Table II shows tlie species and number of tlie dipterocarps round

It will be seen that of the Dipterocarpaceae, two species, Dipterocarpus 

 (jrandifiorus and SJiorca pohjsperma, have 316 representatives or about 

 38 per cent of the total number of trees that may reach a merchantable 

 diameter of 30 centimeters. 



The following table shows the proportion of the other trees mentioned 

 in Table I by families that may reach merchantable size when mature.
