There are 17 sample-plots recorded in the working-plans in which sound

It may be noted that in none of the Pyinmana reserves of the Pegu 
Yoma does the number of teak trees 3 feet in girth and over exceed 603 
sound or 650 sound and unsound trees per 100 acres in any sample-plot : 
the plot containing this number is 11 III of Yeni reserve (area 70-1 acres).
