[VoL. I. 
These inconveniences may to a certain extent be avoided — (1) by 
calculating the yield to be obtained from each coupe separately; this 
yield being based on the possibility of the whole forest. That is to 
say, if the possibility be fixed at (say) r33 per cent, of the total 
material on the entire area of the forests, with a 10 years felling 
rotation, 13'3 per cent, of the actual material calculated separately 
for each coupe would be removed from that coupe.* Or, (2) the 
boundaries of the annual coupes are not fixed ; the forest is worked 
over systematically from end to end, the fellings being stopped ' 
annually as soon as the possibility, based on the yield of the entire 
area, has been obtained. Under this arrangement, which is bound 
to give very uneven results, it will always be found expedient to 
divide the entire area into a fairly large number of compartment-:- 
so that by stopping the fellings at suitable boundaries, order may 
be maintained in the working.
