156 Austria-Hungary. 
The method now largely employed is an area allotment 
checked by the normal forest formula, the so-called 
“Kameraltaxe.” 
The progress made in bringing forest areas under or- 
ganized management varied greatly in the different 
provinces. 
In northeastern Austria the first methods of regulated 
management consisted as in the neighboring territories 
of Germany, in a simple division into felling areas. The 
example of the neighbors was also followed later in the 
northwestern provinces, and in both regions this method 
was improved upon by allotment according to the pro- 
positions of Hartig and Cotta. In addition, since 
1810, the method of the Austrian “Kameraltaxe” with 
the new and fertile idea of the “normal forest” began 
to be employed (see p. 108). 
Especially in Bohemia by 1848 most of the large 
baronial properties had been put under a regular system 
of management according to Saxon and Prussian prece- 
dent. The influence of the former was especially strong 
and Saxon foresters were largely employed to regulate 
the management. Most prominent among these was 
Judeich, who became the Director of the forest school 
at Weisswasser, and afterwards of Tharand in Saxony. 
By 1890 over 83% of the total forest area of Bohemia 
capable of such management had been under rational 
working plans according to the most modern conception, 
and nearly the same proportion in the neighboring prov- 
inces of Moravia and Silesia. 
In the Alps territory and the Danube provinces the 
regulation of forest management has not progressed with 
the same rapidity, partly owing to the existence of the
