ORIGINAL WORKING PLAN DATA 

 The results obtained are shown in the following table: 



503 



Composition of the Stands (Number of trees and volume). — The number of 

 trees 0.80 m. and over in circumference has passed from an average of 214 per hectare 

 to 203 and the volume from 343 m. c. per hectare to 353 m. c. 



The stands have not sensibly changed during the period 1883-1911; they are more- 

 over very nearly in the condition which is considered normal in the Jura except for a 

 slight shortage in volume of old timber. 



Growth in Volume. — The comparison of the inventories of 1883 and 1911 gives 

 an excess in 1911 of 4,100 m. c. From 1883 to 1896 25,099 m. c. has been realized 

 making a total of 73,053 m. c. From 1897 to 1911 47,954 m. c. has been cut. The

We have not thought it possible to take account of the stock estimates of 1896 because 

 in comparing it with the inventories of 1883 and on the other hand with the inventory 

 of 1911 we arrive at results which do not appear to be admissible.
