ALLOCATION OF FELLINGS. 119 



this Rule may be, it is necessary, in spite of it, to avoid giving the 

 ■compartments or cuttings on a slope too great a length in the 

 ■direction of the slope, especially -when that is very steep. Other- 

 wise all work would become very costly and even the Organisation 

 Project might be detrimentally affected thereby. It is better, under 

 su3h circumstances, to divide the slope off by one or two lines 

 running transversely to the direction of the slope and forming, 

 whenever possible, practicable export roads. 



We thus see in how various and complex a manner the Rules 

 for locating coupes enter into the organisation of a forest. Often 

 the conditions they impose are satisfied without any intontion or 

 consciousness on the part of the Amdnagiste, but not unfrequently 

 they are, in like manner, altogether neglected. A special study of 

 the various parts of an Organisation [Project, moreover, shows how 

 intimately those conditions enter into the economy Jof a forest.
