were purchased, the value of the returns in the second or third 

 columns could be less by the amount of the purchase money, since 

 the land would have a value, presumably its present value, at the 

 end of the rotation. 



The tables in Appendix C., pp. 59-63, have in part been taken 

 direct from Schiffel's tables by merely converting 1 the metric 

 into the English system, and assuming that the prices indicated 

 on p. 33 will be obtained for the produce. 



For Schiffel's Quality Class VII., the total value of the produce 

 to the end of a 6b year rotation is 86, which is equivalent to a 

 soil rental of 35. per acre. 



The value of rough mountain grazing land in this neighbourhood 

 varies from 2s. 6d. to 55. per acre per year, so that it is evident 

 that a soil rental of 35. from forest is the minimum below which 

 it would be inadvisable, as a general rule, to go. 



It would therefore appear that the maximum elevation under 

 full exposure is approximately that of Groups V. and VI., i.e., 

 about 1,525 ft. 



The returns from the different quality classes are summarised 

 in the following table": 



If now each sample group be put in its proper quality class it 

 is possible to tabulate the data on which a forestry survey may be 

 carried out.
