the timber remaining in the forests ; there is not much now out- 

 lying in the jungles. 129 logs and heads are all that we could 

 find in the dry season after the fires had bared the forest ; these 

 have all been stamped, numbered, and brought to account in this 

 memorandum.

Note on paragraph 5. — It ia worthy of remark that teak-planting seems 

 now to be forced upon us ; the demand is increasing, while the supply is 

 diminishing, For instance, the Dutch governor Van Rheede records of 

 the Tectona grandis, in the JBortus Malabaricus, 1690, " Ingens arbor usque 

 ad Calicolam." In the present day, nothing but scrubby stumpshoots- are 

 to be seen within three stages of Calicut, indeed till we reach Mombat, and 

 these are the reproduction of a former growth, natural to the country, and 

 which will, with care, again become of importance. — H. 0.
