The method now largely employed is an area allotment 

 checked by the normal forest formula, the so-called 

 "Kameraltaxe." 



The progress made in bringing forest areas under or- 

 ganized management varied greatly in the different 

 provinces. 



In northeastern Austria the first methods of regulated 

 management consisted as in the neighboring territories 

 of Germany, in a simple division into felling areas. The 

 example of the neighbors was also followed later in the 

 northwestern provinces, and in both regions this method 

 was improved upon by allotment according to the pro- 

 positions of Hartig and Cotta. In addition, since 

 1810, the method of the Austrian "Kameraltaxe" with 

 the new and fertile idea of the "normal forest" began 

 to be employed (see' p. 108). 



Especially in Bohemia by 1848 most of the large 

 baronial properties had been put under a regular system 

 of management according to Saxon and Prussian prece- 

 dent. The influence of the former was especially strong 

 and Saxon foresters were largely employed to regulate 

 the management. Most prominent among these was 

 Judeich, who became the Director of the forest school 

 at Weisswasser, and afterwards of Tharand in Saxony. 

 By 1890 over 83% of the total forest area of Bohemia 

 capable of such management had been under rational 

 working plans according to the most modem conception, 

 and nearly the same proportion ia the neighboring prov- 

 inces of Moravia and Silesia. 



In the Alps territory and the Danube provinces the 

 regulation of forest management has not progressed with 

 the same rapidity, partly owing to the existence of the
