The scheme as originally laid down was adhered to with a few minor 
modifications, such as small extensions to^the N. Kanara experiments, 
by which yet another method of seasoning was added, and slight altera¬ 
tions as to dates of felling and conversion to meet local conditions in the 
various Provinces. 
III. Method adopted in checking Experiments and data on 
which results are based. 
The results are based on tests'carried out with 33 species comprising 
1,004 logs, converted into 10,004 planks, scantlings and sleepers. 
Appendix II illustrates the forms maintained to record the progress 
of each experiment, and Appendix III is the form in which results of 
interim and final inspections were recorded. 
The method- followed at the final inspection of each species of timber 
was to carefully inspect each individual plank or scantling, to record in 
the form given as Appendix III all defects, if any, and after having 
gone over all the timber pertaining to one batch, to pass a general note 
on its condition, and finally to record the relative value of each batch 
to the whole. Later, after the experiments were completed in every 
Province, computations were made of the percentage of timber recorded 
as sound, badly cracked, badly warped and insect-attacked, of each
