24 Indian Forest Records. [Vol. VI 
As will be seen, the average outturn from the Government forests for 
the last 9 years amounts to about 200 tons per annum, but the actual 
amount obtainable from all sources is probably considerably larger. 
Notes from the various divisions in which a trade in Thitsi exists , are given 
below. 
I. Thayetmyo.—Thitsi has not yet been extracted on a large scale in 
these forests up to date. Licenses have been issued from time to time, 
but only small quantities have been obtained. The Divisional Forest 
Officer reports, however, that large areas of forest containing thitsi 
occur on the west of the river which have not yet been worked, and 
it is probable that a good trade might be worked up from them. 
II. Prome. —The tree is found in a number of forests in this division, 
and thitsi has been extracted under license, Es. 450 having been received 
during the last 10 years in fees for the right to work certain forests. 
The Divisional Forest Officer estimates that about 4,500 viss have been 
extracted, but considers that the trade could be increased if good prices 
were obtained. He supplies the following list of dealers :—

III. Zigon } Tharrawaddy and Henzada. —The forests which contain 
thitsi in these divisions are scattered and small in area, and very little 
has been extracted. 
IV. North Toungoo.— The right to tap the trees in each Eange is 
sold for a lump sum to the highest tenderer. From 1905-06 to 1914-15 
Es. 11,302 was realised for the right to tap the trees, the estimated
