Indian Forest Records. 
[Vol. VII. 
In Forest Kecord, Volume VII, Part I, entitled a £< Preliminary Note 
on the Seasoning of some Indian Timbers, by Natural Methods,” page 18, 
will be found records of other seasoning experiments carried out with 
Sal timber. The results obtained in those experiments corroborate 
those recorded above, namely that the best way to season Sal is to store 
it in the log under shelter. 
In the above quoted record, on pages 64 and 65 of the appendices, 
are given the results arrived at by converting Sal timber when in a 
green state, followed by seasoning under cover, and it will be seen that 
this method gives slightly inferior results to seasoning under shelter in 
the log.
