[Vol. VIII. 
It was observed that most of the holes were in top logs. 
A tree felled by the writer and analysed on 13th May, 1919, gave the 
following results :—Sample Tree 37 ; Girth=5'—3J"; Age=109 years : 
Bole—length billeted=66 feet; Total Beeholes=33.

Or if grouped in decades, a preponderance appears in the last three 
decades, viz .:— 
1859-1868. 1869-1878. 1879-1888. 1889-1898. 1899-1908. 1909-1918.

This incidence is plotted on the same scale as the sample plot value 
in the Annual Incidence Graph (in solid black line). As regards ver¬ 
tical distribution of beeholes in this tree a concentration occurs in the 
middie third of the boie ; viz. :— 
Height . . 0—15'9 V 15'9"—31'6'' 31'647'3" above 48'

2. Quarry Siding Plantation, 1898, Mohnyin Reserve. 
1. Description of the Sample Plot. 
Area of the plantation=4*2 acres ; well-stocked and well-tended in 
the past. On level ground well-drained. The sample trees were chosen 
from the whole plantation. 
Undergrowth. —In 1915 seeds of Cephalostachyum pergracile were sown 
broadcast over about one acre and Disoxylum hinectiferanum over 
another acre. Bursera serrata was also sown but failed. On the whole 
the plantation appears to have possessed a low, sparse undergrowth, 
in places reaching 6 feet, for most of the period, with a marked scarcity 
of kaing and thetke grass.
