Note. — For as/i, the number of standards may be 50 per cent, in excess 

 of above for oak ; and mixtures of oak and ash as over wood might be 

 calculated on these bases. 



Considering the good quality of the soil, the above estimated amount of over- 

 shadowing towards the close of each period of rotation does not seem such as will 

 prove excessively prejudicial to the coppice underwood ; but the overwood is most to 

 be considered, as likely to yield the main portion of the revenue. In addition to 

 the clearance of the coppice, each fall will every twenty years bs carried out as 

 follows : —
