Among apparatus use for cultivation and preparation of rubber

measurer, by means of which any cooly can take the measurements 
of all the trees in an estate in a very short space of time, so as to 
give a correct idea of the extent of tapping area in an estate. A 
description of this simple apparatus is promised for the Bulletin.
