(4) Plot XX .—A square, the side of the square being 180 feet long. 
The average height of the forest in the neighbourhood of these areas 
was approximately 80 feet (from 60 feet to 100 feet). Thus the width 
of the strip in area (1) and the side of the square in area (3) was § the 
average height of the surrounding trees, whereas in area (4) the side of 
the square was more than twice the average height of the surrounding 
trees. Each of the four areas was surrounded by forest on all four sides. 
All the standing trees and shrubs on these four areas were felled in May- 
June 1915. In the centre of Plots XVII and XVIII 3 beds (each 18 
feet X 3 feet) for sowing were selected,one in the centre, one on the west 
and one on the east. In Plots XIX and XX, 5 beds (each 9 feet x 3 
feet) for sowing were selected, one in the centre, one on east, one on 
north, one on west and one on south. The general position of the beds 
is shown in the plan of each area given below:
