estimated by eye. Where a valuation or enumeration survey 

 has been made, it should be explained whether the stock on 

 the whole area has been counted, or whether the number of 

 trees )ias been calculated from sample plots. Whatever 

 method of analysis and description has been employed should 

 be briefly explained and justified. 



Example. — No Accurate differentiation of the crops in eaoh compartment has been 

 attempted, as this was unnecessary in view of the treatment to be applied. The 

 number of trees has, however, been ascertained by linear surveys run in all directions 

 through every kind of crop. The area so surveyed amounted to 12 per cent, of the 

 area of the working-circle. The results of the enumeration are summarised in the 

 following paragraph, and the detailed figures will be found in Appendix IV. 



A brief analysis of the crop, based on any detailed de- 

 scription or on a stock map (if one has been prepared) should 

 be given. Where the number of trees has been counted or 

 estimated, totals for each size, class, kind, etc., should be 

 stated and should be supplemented in an appendix by a 

 detailed record of the survey. If the areas occupied by 

 different crops have been separately examined, the age-classes 

 and the area occupied by each kind of crop should be 

 recorded. Where the stock has been simply assessed by eye, 

 summary description of the crop in each sub-division may 

 be given. 



Example. — The records of the detailed enumeration show that the standing stock 

 may be classed as follows : — 



Trees (ejtploitable) over 2' in diameter . . . 65,'871 

 IJ' to 2' „ „ ... 87,846 



1' toli',, „ ... 63,000 



below r „ „ ... 927,000 



Where the crops have been differentiated as to their com- 

 ponent age-classes, the summary analysis would be given 

 by area \-^ 



Mature, regular high forest from 100 to 160 years old 

 Selection-worked high forest from 40 to 130 years old 

 Pole crops from 50 to 90 years old ... 



Former coppice, undergoing seed and secondary fellings 

 Young thickets and seedling crops 

 Blanks and glades ......

attained : purpose with which the forest should be 

 managed. — The object or purpose in view, such as the 

 production of timber of a certain kind and size, the 

 protection of the trees, or whatever it may be, should he

 Report and be plainly stated ; and, in certain cases, as for
