70 feet but this is rare, and in the south of the province the girth is much 

 less, rarely going above 3 feet in Palamau, and in Singhbhum being 

 usually not more than 6 feet, with a bole of 80 to 100 feet. 



Extraction. As in Burma, the tree has been left alone in the more 

 remote forests, having no saleable value in the Kurseong and other forests 

 of the north. The limit of girth to be felled has been fixed as low as 

 five feet in parts of Orissa, rising to seven feet in the north, and at these 

 limits trees are marked for purchasers as they are required, only a small 

 amount being available from regular fellings of Coppice and Coppice 

 with Standards. The logs are usually dragged by buffaloes to country 

 cart-roads, and thence carted, but occasionally they are floated lashed to 

 boats. The estimates given of the timber now standing in the forest are 

 extremely vague, but when the wood becomes readily saleable, a certain 

 amount will be available annually. Two or three days' inspection of the 

 forests of a division would suffice to enable the purchaser to decide 

 whether the trade was worth embarking on, in any of the divisions named 

 in the following table :
