Probable value of the coupe 25 years hence, 

 i e. in 1903. 



The standards of the first class, about 10 per cent, of which 

 die on being isolated at the exploitation of the coppice, scarcely 

 attain a diameter of 8 inches by the end of the second rotation. 

 But the standards of the second and higher classes put on average 

 diametral increment of 6 inches during each Rotation of 25 years. 

 The trees now reserved will, therefore, be worth as follows in 

 1903 :—
