Section 3. — Possibility by Volume. 
When an absolutely equal annual sustained yield is a desidera- 
tum ; in places where all the species of a mixed crop, as well as all 
sizes of trees, are saleable ; and where the forest to be taken in hand 
is in a more or less normal selection condition, a possibility by 
volume becomes obligatory. Unfortunately such a state of affairs 
is at present seldom found to exist in an Indian forest. There, an 
absolutely equal annual outturn from year to year is frequently a 
matter of small importance; and what is more the trained establish- 
ment, which would be required to carry out exact enumerations and 
measurements of the whole standing crop periodically, and subse- 
quently to carefully supervise the annual fellings, is not always 
available. Taking these facts into consideration, it will usually be
