Miscellaneous provisions.— The working-plan may fittingly 

 prescribe the up-keep of records, the conduct of experiments 

 with a view to the future revision of the plan on more 

 accurate data, or for other purposes. 



Example. — A journal, as prescribed under Section 89 of the Forest Code, must he 

 kept up. This book will contain, separately for each block, a register of tlie operation 

 carried out therein, the yield from the fellings, thinnings, dead and wind-fallen trees, 

 etc., etc., etc. In addition to this, a portion of the journal should he devoted to a 

 general summary of each year's work, to notes on experiments and ohsei-vations made, 

 cost of exploitation, revenue, and expenditure; and so forth, for the forests as 

 a whole. 



Measurements of the rate of growth of the oak should be made regularly once a 

 year in the sample plot and should be entered in the journal. The examination of the 

 concentric rings of growth in conifers should be continued. The record should be kept 

 by compartments, and both the aspect and altitude should he invariably noted. 



Changes in the forest staff.— Any alterations proposed should 

 be indicated with such detail as circumstances require, and 

 should be justified by reference to facts recorded in the first 

 part of the Report. 



Example.— It has been already fully explained that the stafE is inadequate and 

 must be increased if the present proposals for working the forest are accepted. 



The following protective and executive establishment will be required. A state- 

 ment showing how it is proposed to distribute and employ these men is attached to 

 this Report. Even with the proposed increase , the average forest area (formed of a 

 large number of small forests scattered over rugged country) under each Banger will 

 be 17,000 acres, and under each Guard 1,600 acres-
