It is easy to deduce from the above figures the total incre- 

 ment added during the rotation from 1879 to 1903. Expressed 

 in money it is £ 381 Os. 8id.— £ 116 15s. 8id.=£ 264 5s; i. e. 

 £ 50 14s. 4fd. per acre for the whole rotation, or very nearly £ 2 

 Os. 6d. per acre per annum. Expressed in cubic feet the incre' 

 meat per acre per annum is as follows :-^

Again the figures of the preceding exploitation of 1853 are 

 available, and reference to them will show that whereas only 10 

 standards having a girth of 14 inches and upwards were probably 

 left in that year, 45 are to be spared in 1878, and as the net value 

 of these trees alone will have increased by as much as £ 200, it 

 is in their reservation that we must recognise the fikief merit of the 

 coppice proposals for 1878. 



The preceding analysis, which is only a skeleton of what such 

 analyses should be, sufiSces to show how we may interrogate the 

 future of any coupe or crop and correctly forecast from a financial 

 point of view the probable results that may follow from a giviitt 

 operation.
