tin. While the resin is running out of the pot, he completes the 

 freshening, cleans from the pot any resin that may not have run 

 out of it already, and fixes pot on the tree and replaces lids. It 

 is absolutely n^essary that all freshening coolies must collect also, 

 as it undoubtedly results in better work on the part of the coolies. 

 Straining of rasin must be done as the resin is collected from the 

 pots into collecting tins or balties. For the strainers wire gauge 

 mesh of four to the inch is the best, but tins with holes cut of 

 equivalent size are allowable if gauge is not obtainable. 



Resin when collected must be brought daily to the prescribed 

 d^pot. If a mate or cooly is found to be leaving resin lying in 

 the forest, the Forester, Forest Guard or resin moharrir should 

 report the matter to the Range Officer, who will take immediate 

 steps to warn and punish the mate or remove him if desirable. 



5. Packing of resin. 



Tins with small holes are provided for this. The resin already 

 strained will be emptied from collecting balties into the small- 

 holed tins. The small holed tins to be filled in the presence of 

 resin muharrir where one is provided : if there is no jamadar at 

 the dp6t, the cooly will fill up the tin himself, but it should be 

 noted that only clean resin should be allowed to pass into these 

 tins, and residue at the bottom of the balti found mixed with dirt 

 to be kept in a separate tin ; the cooly or mate has nothing to 

 loose, when he finds dirty resin at the bottom of the balti he will 

 himself keep it separate. In case there is no jamadar at the 

 d^pot the man taking over resin should mark this tin with a 

 separate serial and write " D " to indicate dirty. The resin in 

 small holed tins will take about a day to settle and on the day after 

 filling the resin will be found to have sunk a little in the tin and 

 more mitst be put in to fill it completely. All tins must ba filled 

 completely in this way and no tin should hold less than 20 seers, 

 nett, making the gross weight at least 2l seers. Small-holed 

 tins when filled with resin must have the holes plugged with clay
