126 WEST AFRICAN FORESTS AND FORESTRY 
have means to pay the tax here, so labour is scarce and prisoners 
are employed in keeping the plantations clean. The altitude of the 
highest plantation is 1,800 feet above sea-level. Manihot Glaztovit 
has been planted in greater numbers than any other tree; next comes 
Teak, then Para Rubber, of which one had been tapped with satisfactory 
results, Funtumia elastica, Oil Palms, Khaya Klainii, Sasswood and 
Cola vera. Small plantations of Ficus elastica, Cocoa and Anogeissus 
leiocarpus have also been made. One curious mixture was seen, Teak 
and Cola vera; the teak-trees tended to grow much faster, and the 
Cola benefited by the shade. 
The most northerly and the driest stations are Sansane Mangu 
and Kalangasshi, where I was told 1,037 acres had been planted with 
Teak, Khaya Senegalensis, Ceara Rubber and Afzelia. It is proposed 
to form the third afforestation area of 15,000 acres at Kalangasshi. 
In smaller quantities are to be found the Locust Bean, Parkia 
filicoidea, Manihot Glaztovit, Shea Butter, Iroko, Ficus elastica, Oil 
Palms, Funtumia elastica, Afzelia Africana and Kapok. Some teak 
and a few other trees had been planted at Bismarckburg, an old sub- 
station to Kete-Kratschi, and the same varieties at Ho, a substation 
to Misahdhe. 
I was unable to obtain figures as to the number of trees planted 
at the above three stations, but teak is reported to be doing well 
at them all. 
In addition to the species of indigenous trees planted, and also 
introduced, species such as Teak, Tectona grandis, and many others 
have been planted on a small scale.
