little shola in hollows, chiefly hill-t,.p, much hlown ;

hollows ; 1,007 trees harked twice, 351 trees once. 
107. — No. XI, 1SGG, £.—12-18 acres, about two-thirds 
shola, one-third grass hind, Officinalis; growth good;

failed to sprout ; growth good of remainder. 
108. No. XXVIII, 1809, D.— 15-33 acres grass land, 
Officinalis, planted 7' x 7' ; condition fair but growth 
s'.uuted; height 8 to 10 feet, not barked; no late re- 
newals but now pitted for intermediate planting to an 
extent of about 35 per cent ; 5 acres coppiced in 1879; 
2,493 unharke I trees cut, failures 400 ; coppice growth 
of the rest good ; 100 seedlings planted to re-place the 
casualties, 100 unbarke 1 trees scrape I in October 1880, 
some mossed and some left hare, all are renewing their 
bark, but those mossed renew more rapi.dy. 
109. No. XXIX, 1869, £.—8-05 acres, grass land, 
Officinalis ; gro xth good in the lower portion only a 
small area, rest very patchy from many failures ; trees 
healthy hut stunted; no renewals the last three years; 
2,467 trees barked once, eight large dead trees felled. 
110. No. XXIV, 1868, D. — 13 37 acres, grass land 
and fern land, Officinalis; a rather flat portion of about 
8 acres sutlers from frost, and has gone out almost 
entirely ; in the remainder growth stunted, but fairly 
healthy ; many failures ; no late renewals ; 3,579 trees 
barked once. Five old dead trees cut down. Twenty- 
one Angustifolia trees not growing very well. 
1H. No. XIV, 1866, E.— 433 acres, shola land, Officin- 
alis ; growth average, but a good many failures from 
frost ; several spots quite hare ; no renewals since four 
years ; 715 tree - harked three times, 672 trees barked once.

trees far apart ; growth generally stunted, but fairly 
healthy ; no renewals since four years ; 700 trees barked 
twice, 1,709 trees once. 
118. No. XXIII, 1868, C— 11-76 acres, fern laud, 
Officinalis ; very poor growth with numerous gaps, the 
rank growth of the common Bracken (Pterin aquilina) 
' is robbing tho soil of much of its virtue ; it should he 
thoroughly eradicated as far as possible, and this plot 
should bo pitted and planted up; 1,895 trees bavked 
twice, and 1,302 once, two old dead trees cut down. 
114. No. XV, 1806, F. — 3 24 acres, nbout 1 acre 
shola, the rest grass land, Officinalis; growth poor and 
minted, and many failures; 1,412 trees barked three 
time . and 097 trees once. 
116. No. XII, 1800, C. — 1116 acres, shola land. 
Dfflcinalis; growth good but patchy in places from many 
fitjlares; '■>. ■•!■'> trees barke.l three times, 1,771 trees 
once; no reue.vals since four years. 
116. No. XXXIX, 1873.— 1-81 acres, shola land, 44 
large I'itim-iisis trees; gro.tli good, 15 feet high, not 
naked, except four for analysis; 557 largo Officinalis 
doing very well, not barked; 1,000 Officinalis put down 
in 1880. 
117. No. XIII, 1868, D.— 12-68 acres, shola land, 
and good soil, very steep in parts and subject to much 
Man, but was terraced in 1880; trees have been pruned 
and the growth is good and promising, but docs not 
cover the ground which is steep and rocky in places, 
niginally planted 8' H' which has prevented straight 
growth of boll; height of trees 8 to 15 feet; there was 
a good deal of intermediate planting four years ngo : 
2,971 tree- harked four limes, 1,52-1 trees once. 
118. No. I'll, 186">, A. 10-20 acres, shola laud, 
soil eery good, ground terraced In 1880, ohiefb Officin- 
alis ; growth very good, originally planted 7 7 . but 
fiol yory regularly, fairrj covers the ground, trees 10

very steep 
alis, all hi 
baiked four times, 816 
>ue portion of about half 
uted twice, but has failed 
disaya trees, growth thin 
trees growing very luxu- 
ntha and Suceirubra ; growth very poor, 
plots on the north-east side oi'the hill. 
/, 1806, G. — 9'57 acres, shola land, 
failed ; 1,000 seedlings put out 
id three times, 1,481 trees once. 
I, K.— 6-40 acres, shola soil, a 
irregularly planted with Officin- 
frowth good ou slopes, but trees 
about lower portions of the 
with very fine growth. 
121. No. XXXVIII, 1872.— 8-36 acres, chiefly grass 
land, steep hill side, soil poor and gravelly, Officinalis ; 
growth poor and many failures, suffers from frost and 
much blown ; many renewals, amongst which there are 
failures, re-pitted in portions for intermediate planting ; 
the extremo upper portion suffers much from frost and 
wind, and has almost entirely gone out ; and it would 
be useless to re-plant this ; the upper portion of the 
slope has been lately terraced, and should be planted up ; 
the Bracken should be eradicated as it is ro bing the 
soil ; about one acre shola land in the lower portion of 
the plot exhibits good growth; trees not harked. 
122. No. XXXIV, 1869, J. — 7-28 acres, grass land, 
planted with Officinalis, steep, rocky, and gravelly, very 
poor growth, many failures ; 567 trees barked twice, 
1,746 trees onco ; six old trees cut down. 
123. No. XXXIII, 1869, /.— 12-33 acres, grass and 
fern land, Officinalis, except a few Pubescens ; very 
steep, several small land-slips ; trees far apart and very 
irregular, at least 25 per cent failures ; a very poor plot ; 
271 trees barked twice, 3,487 trees once. 
124. No. XXXII, 1869, II. — 12-82 acres, grass and 
fern land, steep with rocky, gravelly, poor soil, planted 
iwth very poor and numerous fail- 
Iced twice, 2,150 trees once; 300 
t in 1880. 
1869, G. — 14-08 acres, grass and 
I gravelly, Officinalis ; growth very 
.ilures ; 707 trees barked twice, 2,242 
oead trees cut down. 
1809, F. — 17'62 acres, grass land 
and fern, steep and gravelly, Officinalis ; very poor growth 
and thin from many failures ; 2,643 trees barked twice, 
2,113 trees once; 11 old dead trees cut down. 
127. These last live plots of 1809 planting, viz., F, 
G, H, I, and J form the lower portion of the north- 
east side of the Dodabetta Plantation, and are by far 
the least succe^ful, and the trees will never cover tho 
ground, as there are considerable portions on which growth 
will always fail; there is, however, here and there much 
fern land, on which there is now a rank growth of 
Bracken robbing the soil, and if money was expended 
in uprooting this, the growth of the C hinehona might 
be much improved in these portions. 
128. No: XXXVII, 1870.— 8-92 acres, grass land, 
planted with Otl.ciualis ; much of the plot is hill top 
with i r rocky Soil; the trees were originally put down 
at 7'x7\ ,mt t'uy are now very far apart from many 
failures, anil the growth is poor utid stunted, generally 
from 5' to 10' in height; Intermediate planting up should 
bo undertake!], but 1 1. ere are M>\eliil pcifecth bare spots 
on which perhaps planting would not succeed : 16* trees 
barked twice, 1,295 trees once.
