time of year that the girdling should be done in order to minimize 
the danger, etc., etc. Detailed data of this character are lacking at* 
pi’esent, but should be made available through entomological investi- 
gations as occasion arises. 
It must be borne in mind in connection with girdling that certain 
hard woods become more hard and difficult to saw after partial 
seasoning, as for example, Terminalia tomentosa, Hardtvichia binata, 
and Xylia dolabriforniis. Partial seasoning before felling also 
increases the liability of splitting and shattering when the tree is 
felled, particularly in species inclined toward shake and similar original 
defects. 
Without going so far as to attempt to draw general conclusions, 
it may be pointed out that under the conditions of these experiments, 
as summarised in Appendix I, the follov/ing species were not appre- 
ciably damaged by insects during girdling and generally benefited by 
the girdling treatment.
