(ii) The Ngalaik Reserve lies inside the Taungnye, with its north¬ 
west limits covering the crest of the Yomas, in which locality 
bamboos occur, but would be difficult to exploit. 
(in) The Kaing Reserve is a small area of forest, to the south¬ 
east of the Ngalaik Reserve and is drained by the Ngalaik 
itself. 
(iv) The Pozaungdaung Reserve lies close to the Railway on hilly 
ground, but not on the main ridge of the Yomas ; it is 
well stocked with bamboos, of which a certain number 
are extracted annually from its eastern edge by small 
contractors. The tributary of the Ngalaik, known as the 
Chaungmagye, drains this area. 
(2) The Yonhin drainage. 
(-y) The Yanaungmyin Reserve is a comparatively small area 
lying on undulating ground on the outside edge of the Yoma 
blocks, and is drained by a small river called the Thebyu, a 
tributary of the Yonbin. 
(vi) The Plawe Reserve is the most northern block drained by 
the Yonbin. It lies up against the main ridge of the Yomas, 
consequently it is difficult to extract bamboos from its upper 
reaches. It is drained by the Palwe Chaung, a tributary of 
the Yonbin, and a good floating stream. 
(vii) The Yonbin Reserve in the west lies on the main ridge of the 
Yomas, and is drained by the Chaungmangyi tributary, 
also a good floating stream. 
(viii) The Mynbyin Reserve lies to the south of the Yonbin 
forests, and is tapped by the Yonbin Chaung, a good 
floating stream. 
The last reserve is the Yeni, which contains fine pyinkado 
forests. It has been decided to omit this area from the 
scheme as the river by which it is drained is a poor floating 
stream. 
(3) Area. 
In calculating the area of forests of the various reserves over which 
bamboos occur, those lying along the main ridge of the Yomas have 
been excluded, as the difficulty in exploiting the bamboos from that 
locality would probably render the cost excessive.
