The Divisional Forest Officer does not think that the trade can be 
increased. 
Y. South Toungoo .—Licenses are issued and, during the 10 years 
ending in June 1915, Rs. 2,222 was realised, the amount of thitsi 
extracted being estimated at 39,600 viss. Probably not more than 400 
viss could be supplied annually from this division, at about Rs. 1-4 per 
viss. There are no regular dealers on a large-scale. 
VI. Shwegyin .—Licenses are issued annually for stated quantities 
of thitsi, generally up to about 50 viss. During the year ending June 
1915, 1,210 viss of thitsi were extracted and Rs. 121 was paid in revenue. 
The Divisional Forest Officer supplies the names of local dealers given 
below, each of whom could probably supply about 100 viss annually 
at Rs. 150 per 100 viss. He considers that the trade could be 
stimulated if undertaken by men with capital.
