 nea vulgaris Lam. var % japonicu Dei), Shioji (Fraxinus Siebol- 



diana BL), Kaede [Acer palmatum TJiunb.), Kaba {Bet it la 

 species.). The species in coppice woods are Kunugi (Qwercus 

 scrrata 77iunb.), Ko-nara (Quercus glahdulifera BL), Kashi 

 (Ever-green^ Quercus species.), Shide {Carpinus laxiflora BL), 

 Soro {Carpinus yedoensis Maxim.), and others, and the over

The forests belonging to the Imperial Household may be 

 classified according to the working systems as follows : 



Systems. AgaiiHpst 



High forest system 80% 



Coppice system 



Barren lands ' io" 



Forest lands not worked 3% 



Total 100% 



From this table it will seen that 80 percent of the entire 

 forests are high forests, 7 percent coppice woods, and 10 

 percent barren lands and 3 percent forest lands not worked. 

 The species of trees of these forests are about the same as 

 those of the State forests above mentioned. With the develop- 

 ment of saw miilcs, there has naturally arisen a tendency 

 toward general unity in the size of timber which has hitherto 

 shown the places of product, being differrent according 

 to various districts and the market price and credit had come 

 t'> be decided by the size of the timber.
