The rotation for the overwood will be 120 years and standards of that age 

 will produce timber from 4 to 5 feet in girth. 



26. Rules for the selection of standards. 



(1) Twenty standards to the acre will be reserved. As the object of the 

 standards is merely the production of timber, the full number need not be 

 worked up to if suitable or well shaped trees are not available. 



The following are the trees from which as a rule standards should be 

 selected : 



Matti. 



Hirda. 



Kindal. 



Nandi. 



Jambul. 



Honne. 



Sissum. 



Bilkumbi. 



Hedde. 



Jamba. 



Bharnagi. 



(2) The standards will be placed in two classes 



(1) Over 36" in girth, (2) Under 36*. 



In selecting standards the proportion aimed at should be 6 first class 

 standards and 14 second class standards to the acre. 



(3) All trees should be reserved () in the immediate neighbourhood of 

 springs of water, (b) within 10 yards of the bank of a river or nalla, and (<?) 

 along the edge of a high road. Such trees will not be included in the number 

 of standards fixed per acre. 



(4) The Divisional Eorest Officer may at any time order the reservation of 

 advance growth of 9" girth and under. 



(5) The reserves on the outer limit of a coupe will have painted on them 

 a ring and number in red at breast height. Those in the interior a ring aud 

 number in black. 



(6) The markers' lists will show the species and class to which each reserve 

 belongs. 



THE FELLINGS. 



27. General Scheme of Working. 



There are 4 blocks. Each block is divided into GO annual coupes of 

 approximately equal area : 



The map attached to the report shows which parts of the forest contain 

 good growth and which are scrub or inferior jungle. 



28. Period for which the fellings are prescribed. 

 The fellings are prescribed for the whole rotation. 



29. Areas to be felled annually ; order of allotment. 



In each block one coupe will be cut annually and the order of working 

 given in this plan must be adhered to. This is important as the order of 

 felling has been so arranged that grazing facilities are interfered wita as little 

 as possible by the closure of coupes.
