Chapter X. 

 THE ORDINANCES AND RULES AFFECTING FORESTRY. 



The following are, up to date, the Ordinances and Rules which affect 

 the Forestry of the country. 



A Forest Ordinance on similar hnes to those in operation in other 

 British Tropical Dependencies was passed as Ordinance No. 15 of 191 r. 

 Owing, however, to the strong native opposition in view of the pecuhar 

 nature of the land tenure sy-stem of the Colony, the proclamation of 

 this Ordinance has been withheld. 



In some instances only the paragraphs directly affecting forestry 

 are quoted. These extracts are only as a guide and must, of course, 

 be read in connection with the whole of the Ordinance concerned. 



Misprints in the spelling of botanical names in the original texts 

 of the Ordinances have been corrected in the following extracts.
