PART II.-FUTDIIE MANAGEMENT DISCUSSED AND PEESCRIBED. 



Working-circles. — In explaining what working-circles are 

 proposed, their formation should be fully j ustified with re- 

 ference to — 



The state of the crop and method of treatment to be applied. 



The position of the natural land-marks. 



The demand for the produce, and the most desirable size for the coupes. 



The administrative charges. 



It wUl generally be convenient, especially when there are 

 a number of working- circles, to exhibit in a tabular form 

 the areas comprised in each circle together with the names 

 of the forests or blocks concerned. 



Example. — It will have been seen that the forest area consists of two portions' 

 separated from each other by the main road from the railway line to the tehsil, and 

 perfectly distinct in the character of the crops and in legal constitution. That portion, 

 situated to the east of this road has an area of 13,631 acres, is reserved and contains, 

 as we have seen, an irregularly coppiced forest of sal ; while the area lying to the 

 west of the road is nnclassed forest, and contains only scrub jungle which it will be 

 proposed to worli for grazing. This latter block must, it is evident, form a separate 

 working-circle, and it is proposed to call it the " grazing circle." 



As to the first-mentioned block, it is too large to form conveniently a single circle, 

 and it is therefore proposed to divide it into two, separated by the stream and the 

 path leading to the village. But both circles will be simultaneously worked to supply 

 the same market which is fed by the railway. It maybe argued that this division of 

 the eastern area inio two circles wiU render the working-plan more coniplicated. The 

 cost of extracting the produce will, however, be decreased by reason of the lesser 

 distance it will have to be carried ; while the products of the fellings will not be so 

 difficult to extract and dispose of. The following area statement shows the distribu- 

 tion of these working-circles, called the " eastern " and " western," respectively. 

 Each will conveniently form a Forester's charge, replacing the present arrangement 

 by which a Ranger has charge of the reserved forests only, and two guards, belonging 

 to the sab-division but not under the Ganger, have charge of the grazing area : —
