This analysis enables us to study the composition of the growing stock or capital 

 and to arriye at the following figures : — ■ 



Crops 1 to 3 years old 

 „ 4 to 6 „ „ 

 )5 7 to y „ „ 



„ 10 to 12 „ „ and over 



Acres.

We will further assume that it has been decided to work the forest on a short 

 rotation of twelve years, so as to furnish small fuel for the neighbouring right- holders 

 and villagers. Consequently, as-iiW acres would be out 07er annuaUy, or on an 

 average 291 acres every three years, there ought to be about 290 acres in each of the 

 above age-classes. It is, therefore, apparent that the forest is over rich in woods 

 of medium age, and that the excess capital may be utilized. The average size of each 

 annual coupe would be found, after deducting the blanks, etc., to be liM or 97 acres. 

 But we will suppose that in order to provide in the different blocks for differences of 

 fertility which, owing to a complete change of soil, are somewhat marked, it has been 

 decided to distribute the coupes as follows : — 



Chansil ■ — good soil 

 KotigaU —medium 

 Pntmir — do. 

 Kaintwar — good soil 

 Sahlra — bad „ 



— 4 coupes of 90 acres vooded each.

-1 „ of 100 „ „ „ 



—3 „ of 90 „ 



—2 „ of 118 „ 



It will also be supposed that.advantage has been taken of existing roads and 

 other land-marks in locating the coupes so that the areas are not exactly ejual. The 

 fellings to be made are as follows : —
