 Section II. — Inpoumation to be recorded under each 



HEADING. 



I. The introdnction.—Tliis should briefly explain the time 

 occupied in the preparation of the plan, the establisliment 

 employed, and the expenditure incurred under each head ;; 

 any special difficulties encountered, as well as other facts 

 whicli merit permanent record but which do not find a place 

 in the body of the report. 



Eicample.~'ih.e field work, vhich included the survey of the forest to be exploited', 

 under' this plan, was commenced in the beginning of Juno 1907, and continued, 

 Trith a short intermission daring the rains, until December, when travelling in the- 

 hills became impracticable. It was recommonoed in the following May, and brought 

 to a close at the end oE the same year, 1908. 



The establishment employed dnring the first season consisted, in addition to the- 

 ofiicer in charge and his clerical staff, of two native sub-surveyors, lent by the 

 Superintendent, Surveys of India, towards the end of the season, and of a small staff of 

 kbalasies, recorders, treeiaeasnrers and coolies. Dnring the second season two Forest 

 B'tngers were employed in addition to the temporary staff entertained in the previous- 

 year. 



The total cost of the work, including the pay and allowances of the officer in 

 charge, the subordinate staff and all other charges amounted to E8,400, or E70 per 

 square mile. The high cost-rate is partly due to the rugged nature of the country in. 

 which the forests are situated and the consequent difficulty of travelling ; but it is 

 also, in a great measure, due to the employment of temporary subordinates, and the- 

 lateness of the season when work was commenced in the first year, 



3. Description of the tract dealt with («) Name and situa- 

 tion. — The name of the tract dealt with in the report,, 

 generally some forest charge, and the civil district or terri- 

 tory in which it is situated, together with that of the 

 Forest Division to which it belongs, should be stated ; and 

 it should be explained whether the wooded area comprises 

 one or several separate forests. The vicinity of large towns 

 or markets for the produce, or of rivers, roads, or railways- 

 leading to these places, should be very briefly mentioned. 

 here. 



Umample. — These plans have been prepared for what are known as the "Nainr 

 Tal Forests" which comprise twenty separate areas situated in the Knmann District^, 

 in the«KJ-rf»»J»«o« of Chakrata Pahar and Dhangakot, within the jurisdiction of the 

 Commissioner of Kumaun. The forests surround and supply with produce the Muni- 

 cipality and Cantonment of ^aini Tal, and constitute one of the two ranges of the 

 Kaini Tal Forest Division. 



{it) Configuration of the ground. — It should be explained 

 whether the forests are situated in hilly or level ground, or 

 on a plateau ; whether they form part of one or several river 

 basins ; at what height or heights above the sea they are- 

 found, and what their relative position is with regard to the^ 

 surrounding country.
