regarding the growing-stock of each by existing working-plans. We may 
now confine our attention to smaller areas, namely, the sample-plots over 
which working-plans enumerations have been carried out : these seldom 
reach 200 acres in extent, and ordinarily run to about 50 —100 acres, many 
being under 50 acres in extent. Here again we cannot depend on obtain¬ 
ing figures showing the maximum richness of natural teak forest, because 
these°sample-plots are selected as far as possible to represent an average 
of the growing stock of the forests in the neighbourhood, and are not 
specially selected for their richness. In the absence of better statistics, 
however, we may examine a few of the richest sample-plots hitherto 
recorded, considering separately {a) areas rich in large-sized trees, (b) areas 
rich in teak trees of 3 feet girth and over and (c) areas rich in trees under 
3 feet in girth. 
{a) Sample-plots rich in large-sized teak. —The table below gives a list 
of sample-plots having an average of 5 or more sound teak trees 6 feet in 
girth and over per acre.

* Unsound trees of this size are not shown separately, but are almost negligible as the total number of 
unsound trees of all classes is small in each case. 
There are altogether 14 recorded sample-plots having 4 or more sound 
teak trees 6 feet in girth and over to the acre, 12 plots having from 3 to
