From Class V to Class IV takes the first period of 32 years, less 3 years. 
(b) Pyinkado. 
Owing to the distance of the reserves from the river and the difficulty of 
extraction there is not likely to be any great demand for pyinkado from these 
forests during the next 32 years. The timber is valuable and it is possible that 
some may be worked out by purchasers, and converted on the spot either by 
steam saw-mills or hand labour. 
Any demand that arises will be met by working the most easily accessible 
compartments : the stock in these alone will therefore be considered. Pyinkado 
was counted in two classes, 3 to 7 feet and above 7 feet. Subject to the working 
rules laid do^m below, any tree above 7 feet in girth may be felled. Of the 
total number of trees above 7 feet in girth a certain number are unsound or 
forked near the ground, and will not yield good timber. To make up for these, 
trees below 7 feet in girth which are unsound, those which should be removed 
because they are interfering with teak, and those which are growing on the 
poorest localities, may be felled. The number of trees above 7 feet in girth in 
the tables of growing stock may therefore be accepted as the yield for each 
compartment : these are given in the list below, for those compartments in 
which purchasers will probably be willing to work if any demand arises : —

If this be regarded as the total yield for the period the annual yield is 492 
trees. 
As it is at present impossible to estimate the extent and nature of the 
probable demand, it is unnecessary to lay down annual felling areas or the order 
in which they should be worked. The wishes of the purchaser should be con- 
sulted. The total stock of trees above 7 feet in girth is 43,377, so that there is 
no likelihood that pyinkado will be worked out. All dead timber should be 
worked out with the green timber marked, and one compartment should be 
thoroughly worked out before a new one is begun.
