The introduction. — This should hriefly explain the time 

 occupied in the preparation of the plan, the establishment 

 employed, and the expenditure incurred under each head ; 

 any special difficulties encountered, as well as other facts 

 which merit permanent record but which do not find a place 

 in the body of the report. 



Example. — The field work, which included the survey of the forest to be exploited 

 under tliis plan, was commenced in the beginning of June 1884, and continued, 

 with a short intermission during the rains, until December, when travellin<; in the 

 hills became impracticable. It was recommenced in the following May, and brought 

 to a close at the end of the same year, 1885. 



The establishment employed during the first season consisted, in addition to the 

 Officer ill charge and his clerical staS, of two native snb-surveyors, lent from the 

 Forest Survey Branch towards the end of the season, and of a small stafF of khalssies, 

 recorders, tree-measnrers and coolies. During the second season two Forest Bangers 

 were employed in addition to the temporary Btafi" entertained in the previous year. 



The total cost of the work, including the pay and allowances of the Office! in 

 charge, the subordinate stafE and all other charges, amounted to B8,400 or to B70 per 

 square mile. The high cost-rate is partly due to the rugged nature of the country in 



* Each working-circle should be separately dealt with as regards the method of treat- 

 ment, the fellings, and all supplementary provisions except those common to the whole 

 area, such is road-construction.
