TABLE I. 



* The Northern District comprises the counties of Northumberland, Durham, 

 Cumberland, Westmorland, Lancaster and York ; the Central and Southern 

 District, the counties of Derby, Stafford, Leicester, Warwick, Oxford, Bucking- 

 ham, Berks, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Southampton and Dorset ; the Welsh 

 District, the whole of Wales, except Glamorgan, together with Cheshire and 

 Shropshire ; the Eastern District, the counties of Lincoln, Nottingham, Rutland, 

 Northampton, Huntingdon, Bedford, Cambridge, Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex. 

 Hertford and Middlesex ; and the South-Western District, the counties of 

 Hereford, Worcester, Gloucester, Monmouth, Wilts, Somerset, Devon, Cornwall 

 and Glamorgan. 



With these figures as a basis and assuming that the areas of 

 woodlands in each county are those given in the Report of the 

 Forestry Branch for 1912-1913* the proportionate quantities for 

 those counties in which adequate sample areas have been inspected 

 are shown in Table II. below. 



TABLE II. 



It will be observed that the total area accounted for in Table II. 

 is 1,434.800 acres. The total area of woodland in England and 

 Wales is 1,884,100 acres, and there remain therefore approximately 

 449,300 acres for which no adequate sample reports have been 

 obtained. Assuming that this area of woodland is similar in 

 character to the woods already inspected, the quantities for the 

 whole of England and Wales become by proportion : 



(a.) Normal 570,000 tons. 



(fl.) " Extraordinary " ... 5,120,000 

 (c.) Total 11,810,000
