UTILIZATION OF THE PRODUCE.
25. The demand on these forests is almost entirely local, chiefly for dry
Marketable products ; quan- fuel, grass, leaves, edible products, thorns and brushwood,
tity consumed in past years. The whole of this is given under commutation system.
A few poles are often required by the people for the construction of their houses.
There is also a small outside demand occasionally for bamboos and teak wood.
Local grazing is carried on throughout the ranges. Hurra, lac, hides and horns
are leased to contractors annually.

Letter No. 38-W.-P., dated the 2Oth March 1901, from the Inspector-General of
Forests, and enclosures.
RESOLUTION.
The Inspector-General of Forests has endorsed the plan, subject to certain
remarks which he makes thereon. A list of Addenda and Corrigenda, making the
necessary corrections, is hereto appended.
2. The Officiating Chief Commissioner agrees with the Inspector-General
of Forests that though the areas in the grazing circle might, as suggested by the
Commissioner, Jubbulpore Division, well be fired under Departmental supervision, it
is advisable to adhere to the provisions of the plan and bring the unworkable
circles under B. class of protection. Mr. Hill has also drawn .attention to the
fact that the plan does not provide for any cultural operations. Some attempt
should be made, wherever feasible, to aid reproduction from seed by artificial
cultivation.
3. With these remarks the Officiating Chief Commissioner sanctions the
plan, which will come into force with effect from the open season of 1901-02.

:
No. 38- W. P., dated Calcutta, the zoth March 1901.
From— H. C. HILL, Esq., Inspector-General of Forests to the Government of India,
To — The Secretary to the Hon'ble the Chief Commissioner of the Central Provinces, Revenue Department.
In accordance with Article 88 of the Forest Department Code I have the honour to
forward, for the orders of the Hon'ble the Chief Commissioner, a working-plan (with
6 tracings) for the forests of the Chapara, Dhooma and Nerbudda Ranges in the Seoni
Division, received from the Conservator, Southern Circle, under cover of his letter No. 3523,
dated the 5th ultimo, a copy of which is enclosed. Subject to the following remarks I
approve of its provisions and beg to recommend them for sanction with effect from the
forest year 1900-01.
2. The plan has been drawn up in accordance with the preliminary proposals accepted
by me, with the exception that instead of forming three working circles corresponding to
the three ranges, the areas in each range have been divided into a workable, an unworkable,
and a grazing circle. I agree to this arrangement.
3. It will be observed from his letter No. 10855, dated the i2th November 1900, that the
Commissioner of the Jubbulpore Division objects to the proposals made for the partial fire-
protection of the unworkable and grazing circles. Although I think that in the present
instance the firing of the grazing areas may be agreed to if carried out under proper super-
vision, I am of opinion that it will be advisable to bring the unworkable circles under B.
class of protection as proposed in the plan.
4. No cultural operations are prescribed or recommended, and it is not known
whether temporary cultivation is feasible in the areas ; but attempts should, I think, be
made if possible to aid reproduction from seed.
5. A list of some apparent errors noticed in this office is attached, and I beg to
request that after they have been verified by the Conservator, all the copies of the plan
may be corrected before distribution.

CONSERVATOR OF FORESTS, SOUTHERN CIRCLE,
Central Provinces
To
THE INSPECTOR-GENERAL OF FORESTS
TO THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA,
Calcutta.
Nagpur, the j^^amta*? 1901.
SIR,
In accordance with Section 88 of the Forest Department Code, I have
the honour to forward two printed copies of the Working-Plan Report for the
three Northern Ranges of the Seoni Division, which formed the subject of
correspondence ending with your No. 2I5-W. P., dated the i8th November 1898,
together with a letter No. 10855, dated I2th November 1900, from the Commis-
sioner, Jubbulpore Division.
2. In the preliminary report, which was approved of by you in the letter
first quoted, it was proposed to form three working circles corresponding to the
three ranges. In the present plan, each range has been divided into a workable
circle, an unworkable circle, and a grazing circle. Thus in all we have nine working
circles with areas constituted as follows: — Workable area, 144,054 acres;
Unworkable area, 41,329 acres; Grazing area, 44,900 acres. The workable area
in each range forms one working circle and is divided into a certain number of
felling series (see para. 35).
*
3. In your letter quoted above, it was suggested that the possibility of
extending fire-protection to the unworkable areas of Circles II and III should be
considered. This referred to the then unworkable areas of the Dhooma and
Nerbada Ranges only, as it was not contemplated that any unworkable area
would be found in the Chappara Range.
4. In the present working-plan now submitted, it is proposed (vide para. 55)
to place each compartment as it is worked over under strict fire-protection
of the kind known in these Provinces as A class. This would bring a fresh
area of about 4,800 acres under protection every year. It is further proposed to
extend partial protection of the kind known as B class gradually over the whole
remaining workable and unworkable areas within a period of 10 years, while the
grazing areas would have no special protection beyond that comprised in C class.
To this proposal the Commissioner demurs. He would abolish C class protection
altogether in the grazing areas and would like to see the unworkable areas burnt
over early in the season before the time of flowering and seeding by way of
experiment in tree reproduction.
5. Though I am unable to agree with the Commissioner in his views
regarding the growth of grass being improved by firing, I think that in the pre-
sent case there will be no harm in allowing the grazing area, which amounts to
only 19 per cent, of the whole, to be burnt over in the interests of the people and
their requirements. If the area is heavily grazed over, the fires will probably
not be very severe. With regard to the unworkable areas, I think it will be time
enough to undertake the fire-protection of these when we have succeeded in
11
extending protection to the whole of the workable area which constitutes about
63 per cent, of the whole. This alone will be a great step in advance, as practi-
cally all these forests are now burnt every year.
6. The question as to what should be done in forests weft'long-continued
fire-protection has failed to secure reproduction by seed is interesting and im-
portant; it has been discussed in para. 38 of the Forest Administration Re-
port for the Northern Circle, Central Provinces, 1899-1900. For years past this
question has engaged the attention of Forest Officers and is not likely to be
lost sight of. but it would be out of place to discuss it here.
7. With these remarks, I recommend that the plan be sanctioned.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,

No. 10855, dated Jubbulpore, the I2th November 1900.
From— J. B. FULLER, Esq., I. C. s., C. I. E., Commissioner, Jubbulpore Division,
To— The Conservator of Forests, Southern Circle, Central Provinces.
I have the honour to forward with the following remarks letter No. 3173,
dated the 1 5th ultimo, from the Deputy Commissioner,
Seoni, together with the Seoni Forest Divisional Officer's
Final Working-Plan* for the Northern Ranges of the Government Forests of
this district.
2. These forests lie in the Lakhnadon Tahsil and are very remote from
centres of consumption. The villages which surround them are generally small,
and the country is sparsely populated. The area of private forest is large, and
there is but small demand for timber from the Government reserves. Over 80
per cent, of the income now received by Government is from grazing fees and
commutation dues for dry wood, grass, thorns and the like, and I see that the
Forest Divisional Officer estimates that under a properly elaborated system of
management, these receipts will still constitute almost as large a share of the
total as they do at present. It has been the practice in this tahsil for some
years past to collect grazing dues and dues for minor produce on the basis of
village assessment lists and not by sale of licenses. This policy has recently
been reaffirmed and extended. We must remember then that we are dealing
with, so to speak, regular customers whose interests require very careful con-
sideration.
3. The area of the forest is 230,283 acres. A considerable portion of it
has as yet never even been brought under the Forest Act, and at present those
who consent to pay forest dues can graze and cut grass where they please.
Timber is sold on license, but the licensee can cut where he pleases. Fire-protec-
tion is merely nominal and a large portion cf the forests is burnt over annually.
4. It is proposed to divide the 230,283 acres into three classes : —
144,054 acres will be brought under systematic working (A) ; 41,329
acres will be left as unworkable (B) ; 44,900 acres will be treated
as grazing areas pure and simple (C).
Persons having cattle to graze will have annually open to them the whole
of B and C and frds of A. The result will be that they will lose about 20 per
cent, of the area now grazed over. I think that this is a considerable loss.
But I do not wish to oppose these proposals on its account. Persons who wish
to procure dry wood, grass and thorns, &c., will have the whole area open to them
as at present. Green timber will only be procurable in future from B and C
areas and from g^th of A. That is to say, the available area will be diminished
by nearly 50 per cent. But the demand for green timber is small, and I do not
expect it to increase largely. The only question is as to the distances which
people will have to travel. In the three ranges 1 7 compartments will be annually
open, and the Forest Divisional Officer states that there will always be an open
compartment within six miles of a village. I should say that this will suffice.
5. Where I feel doubt is in respect to the proposals for fire-protection-
it is proposed to bring the grazing areas under C class protection and the un-
workable areas and the working circles under B class protection, and to gradually
extend A class protection to the working circles as operations develop. There
seems to be overwhelming evidence in support of the view that the growth of
grass is improved by firing. This is the universal opinion of the villagers who,
in a matter of this sort, can be trusted to know their own interests ; it is the
opinion of some experienced Forest Officers, and it has been borne out by
experience gained in the course of the grass-cutting operations of the past year.
H it is not accepted, the matter is of sufficient importance to call for special
enquiry. If it is accepted, then it is wrong to fire-protect grazing areas : they
should indeed be regularly burnt. I think that the people should be allowed —
moreover encouraged — to burn over the 44,900 acres which are set aside for
grazing. My experience is that fire-protection of C class may cause more
IV
harassment to the villagers than fire-protection on a more regular system. There
are no fire-guards and not always fire lines, and the Department simply relies for
success on the fear it can instil of the penal law, which applies, be it remembered,
not only to those who kindle fire within the forests, but to those who kindle it on
private land outside them. The policy affords great scope for oppression to
Forest subordinates, who, when a fire has occurred and an enquiry has been
ordered, are anxious of course to bring home responsibility to some one. I am
generally averse to fire-protection of C class. But in the case of grazing areas,
I am against any fire-protection whatever.
6. I will venture to go further and to advance an opinion that even in the
case of areas which can grow timber of some kind, we have gone too far in
absolutely barring fire. No one can examine the fire-protected forests of these
Provinces without a feeling of surprise that there should be so little natural
reproduction to reward our efforts. Yet there must have been natural reproduction
at some time in the history of these lands, although it is difficult to believe that
they have not been from time immemorial liable to fires. May it not be that the
damage caused by a forest fire depends in very great measure on the season at
which it occurs, and that if it passed over the ground during the cold weather,
when trees are generally lifeless, it would injure their flowering and fruiting but
little while providing a suitable bed for their seeds? I do not of course dispute the
position that annual fires are incompatible with tree reproduction. But 1 think
that occasional fires, early in the season, might, if they coincided with a heavy
seeding season and a favourable monsoon, start the renovation our jungles lack
at present, and I should much like to see this idea given a trial on the areas which
are classed as "unworkable" in the present working-plan.
No. 3173, dated Seoni, the isth October 1900.
From— A. MAYNE, Esq., I. C. S., Deputy Commissioner, Seoni,
To — The Conservator of Forests, Southern Circle, Central Provinces.
[Through the Commissioner, Jubbulpore Division.']
In forwarding the Final Working-Plan Report for the three Northern
Ranges of this district, I have the honour to state that I have discussed with the
Forest Divisional Officer his proposals and am satisfied that his scheme will afford
adequate faci'ities for the nistar of the people living near in the matter of grazing
and of the supply of forest produce. There is at present practically no outside
demand for either. The villages near Government forests have many of them
extensive jungles of their own. There is no risk of agriculturalists or others being
put to serious inconvenience by the system of working proposed.
2. At the same time I must confess that I hardly think that a case has been
•made out for the considerable increase in expenditure proposed by the Forest
Divisional Officer. Para. 24 of his report shows that the average income
and expenditure of the five years ending 1898-99 was Rs. 22,885 and RS- 8,830
respectively. The Forest Divisional Officer anticipates an income of Rs. 24,367,
the previous average figure quoted having been brought unduly low by the
inclusion of a year of famine. His proposals, if carried fully into effect, will
involve an expenditure of Rs. 14,367, being an increase of Rs. 5,537 per annum
above the present cost of managing the three ranges. Rupees 4,500 of this increase
will be due to the cost of fire-protection, and the ba^nce to the entertainment of
a higher-paid staff and provision of better accommodation for them, &c. At
present the forests are to a considerable extent burnt over each year — vide
para. 22 of Report. The inhabitants are firmly convinced that only by
such burning can good grazing be secured. With the Gonds of that part it is
considered a pious act to burn a block of forest. I should recommend our
proceeding very cautiously and economically in the matter of fire-protection,
confining our attention for the present to the parts of the Nerbada Range
which will be accessible to the Satpura Railway.
WORKING-PLAN REPORT OF THE NORTHERN RANGES IN THE
SEONI DIVISION, SOUTHERN CIRCLE, CENTRAL PROVINCES.
Area 361 square miles.
INTRODUCTION.
1. A preliminary report drawn up by Mr. Narayan Prasad Bajpai, Extra-
Assistant Conservator, in September 1898 was approved of by the Inspector-
General of Forests in his No. 25- Working-plan, dated the i8th November 1898.
2. The collection of data for the plan was commenced by Mr. Rama Rao,
Forest Ranger, and continued and completed by me.
3. No expenses were incurred in the preparation of the plan, and the local
knowledge of the Range Officers has been utilized as far as practicable.
PART I
SUMMARY OF FACTS ON WHICH THE PROPOSALS
ARE BASED.
DESCRIPTION OF THE TRACT DEALT WITH.
4. All Government Forest Reserves lying to the north of the town of Seoni,
between the rivers Nerbada and Wainganga, together
Name and situation. . , , „ , _ , i • 7 r i
with the Gangai and Barbaspur Reserves which he along
the southern bank of the Wainganga, form three distinct charges called the
Chappara, the Dhooma and the Nerbada Ranges, mentioned herein as the
Northern Ranges.
These forests lie on both sides of the Great Northern Road wholly in the
Lakhnadon Tahsil. The nearest points are 16 miles from Seoni and 23 miles
from Jubbulpore.
5. The Northern Ranges are bounded on the north by the Jubbulpore and
Mandla Districts, east by the Mand'a District, south by the Seoni Tahsil of the
Seoni District, and west by the Chhindwara and Narsinghpur Districts.
6. The forests are all mostly hilly and the hills are as a rule rocky

the Wainganga. All aspects are represented, but the northern and southern
aspects predominate. The height above the sea-level varies from 1,800 feet to
2,200 feet.

vanes, but a poor mooram soil formed from the disinte-
gration of trap, laterite and quartz is the most common. Black mould and fairly
rich sandy soil occur in certain flat areas, but their proportion compared with the
above areas is insignificant and may be overlooked.
8. The clima'e of the Nerbada Range is colder than that of the other two
ranges. The rains usually commence about the middle
of June and close towards the middle of September.
The cold weather lasts from November to February, and the hot weather from
March to June. In the Nerbada Range the mornings and evenings are chilly
throughout the year.
9. The average rainfall taken from official statistical reports varies from
50 to 53 inches. Nearly the whole of this falls between
the ist of July and I5th September. The average for the
past 32 years is 51*05 inches.
10. The population is chiefly agricultural. The crops are principally wheat,
juari, gram, cotton, rice and pulses. The wants of the
rifCUhtural ?ustoms and people in respect of forest produce are grazing, grass,
dry fuel, bones, thorns, ediWe products and brushwood.
A few poles of girth under two feet are occasionally required by the people to
build their houses. Traders from Jubbulpore sometimes carry teak timber i to 4
feet in girth and bamboos from felling series numbers i to 4 of the Nerbada
Working Circle.
THE COMPOSITION AND CONDITION OF THE FORESTS.
1 1. The working scheme deals with A class reserves and unclassed forests,
viz.. 230,283 acres, the B-I class areas having been

excised for purposes of cultivation.
1 2. The distribution of these forests can best be understood by a reference
to the maps appended. The forests do not form any compact block, but consist
of isolated pieces of various sizes.
13. The area of the forests — -vide form No. 46 for 1899-1900 — is detailed

14. These areas are not correct and will be corrected on receipt of maps
from the Forest Survey of India. The approximate area however is 361 square
miles of A class reserves and unclassed forests and 33 square miles of B-I class
forests.
15. The Settlement of the Chappara Range unclassed forests is in progress
and will soon be completed. That of the unclassed forests of the Dhooma and
Nerbada Ranges will soon be taken up.
1 6. Twenty-one thousand one hundred and fifty -eight acres, or 33 square
miles, of forests in the three ranges have been selected to be made available for
cultivation and sanctioned by the Chief Commissioner as shown in para 18,
1 7- The forests are fully demarcated by means of cleared lines 30 feet wide
marked with stone cairns at suitable distances and salient
points, each with a numbered post except where the
boundary runs along a nala or a river. The numbering of the pillars is mauzawar.
The lines are cleared annually.
18. The Bijna, Baruband, Sherkamar, Nerbada, Rajarwada, Kakartola,
Hiranbhata, Rotto, Bharwa Kachhar and Dhooma blocks
were notified " Reserves " under Section 34 of the Indian
Forest Act (VII of 1878) in the Central Provinces Gazette of 20th February
1879, by Notification No. 885, and Tendpani and Amoda by Notification
No. 888.

Composition and condition of small trees which have to some extent grown on old
lf the crop' _ stumps. Teak and salai form the principal species of the
crop ; saj, tinsa, dhaora, lendiya may be considered secondary ; while other less
important species occur in varying proportions. For a detailed description of
each working circle see Appendix C.
The forests may be divided into three main types : —
(1) Mixed forest without teak.
This type of forest is composed of mixed species, such as saj (Terminated
tomentosa), tinsa (Ougeinia dalbergioides), salai (Bos-wellia thurifera), aonla
(Phyllanthus emblica), lendiya (Lagerstrcemia parvi flora), gubdi (Cochlos-
permum gossypium), palas (Buteafrondosd), ghoti (Zizyphus xylopyrd), mahua
(Bassia latifolia), khair (Accacia catechu), dhobin (Dalbergia paniculata), and
is found chiefly in the three grazing circles in a low and open state.
(2) Mixed forest with teak.
In this type teak predominates and is extending. It is found in
almost all the forests with the exception of the grazing circles and
felling series numbers 4, 5 and 6 of the Nerbada Working Circle
No. VII associated with the species named under type (i).
The growth of teak in very many cases is stunted and crooked.
(3) Mixed forest with teak and bamboos.
Teak and bamboos predominate. It is found in felling series num-
bers 4, 5 and 6 of the Nerbada Working Circle No. VII. In the
Nibargarh block of the Dhooma Range the bamboos are very thin
and are not worth mentioning.
The species named under type (i) associate teak and bamboos.

SYSTEM OF MANAGEMENT.
22. Under past system of management the great aim of the Department
Past and present system of was to make the largest revenue possible by sale of every-
management. thing for which there was a demand. Conservancy of
any description where it interfered with revenue was seldom thought of. But in
1893 the whole area was closed to felling of all green wood except by written
permission of the Forest Divisional Officer. So were the thorns for fencing.
Grazing has been allowed everywhere in these forests, and almost all the
forests are burnt annually.
The system of commutation is in force in all these ranges and almost all the
revenue is derived from grazing and commutation. Under this system each
villager pays certain fees per plough or house and is allowed to collect dry fuel,
grass, leaves and edible products. What little demand for building wood there is
is satisfied by purchasers who are allowed to cut their requirements under the
permission of the Forest Divisional Officer, in each case payment being obtained
under the license system.

UTILIZATION OF THE PRODUCE.
25. The demand on these forests is almost entirely local, chiefly for dry
Marketable products ; quan- fuel, grass, leaves, edible products, thorns and brushwood,
tity consumed in past years. The whole of this is given under commutation system.
A few poles are often required by the people for the construction of their houses.
There is also a small outside demand occasionally for bamboos and teak wood.
Local grazing is carried on throughout the ranges. Hurra, lac, hides and horns
are leased to contractors annually.

26. The quantities consumed during the five years ending 1898-99 are given
in the statement below : —

Lines of export.
28. The following two cart-roads run through these
ranges :-—
(1) A ist class Public Works Department road, Seoni to Jubbulpore
•via Chhapara, Lakhnadon and Dhooma.
(2) A 2nd class Public Works Department road, Narsinghpur to
Ghansor via Lakhnadon and Kahani.
The River Nerbada forming the northern boundary of the Nerbada Range
flows towards Jubbulpore. There are no cart-roads leading to either of the two
above said roads or the River Nerbada, and therefore the extraction of produce
is not an easy matter except from near the roads or the river.
20. Jubbulpore is the only market, but the cost

of carnage is so high that it renders extraction of produce
almost impossible.
30. Produce is removed by purchasers at their own expense by bullock,
Mode of extraction and its kawar or head-loads. The people as a rule employ their
servants and cattle in the felling and removal of produce.
cost.
31. Some bamboos and teak poles from the forests along the bank of the
Nerbada are extracted by floats down the river to Jubbulpore. The cost of felling
II
and carriage to the Nerbada River from distances within five miles are Rs. 10
per 100 poles of girth under a feet or per 1,000 bamboos on the average.
The cost of floating down the river to Jubbulpore is Rs. 5 to Rs. 15 per 100
poles of girth under 2 feet or per 1,000 bamboos according to the distance from
which the produce is floated.
The existence of forests in the neighbouring district of Jubbulpore and the
cheapness at which the produce is sold there practically lessens the demand for
extraction from these ranges, although sometimes it is carried on in spite of these
disadvantages.

34. There is seldom any difficulty in obtaining labour. When the crops are
being sown and harvested, a little difficulty is expe-
rienced, but at other times labour is plentiful and is
obtained at from 2 to 3 annas per day.

36. Of the above circles, Nos. Ill, VI and IX will not be worked for the
present as there is no demand on them.
It is proposed to divide felling series Nos. 4, 5 and 6 of the Nerbada
Working Circle constituting the bamboo felling series into three compartments,
one of which will be opened each year.
37. For the 17 felling series in Working Circles Nos. I, IV and VII the usual
Compartments ; justification 3<>year rotation has been adopted, and each of these
of the sub-division adopted. felling series has therefore been sub-divided into 30
more or less equal compartments, as shown in the map and in the statement
attached to para. 48.
Circles Nos. Ill, VI and IX have not been sub-divided into compartments as
it is not intended to work them at present.
The Raichur felling series of the Dhooma Working Circle could not be
divided into compartments for want of 4" scale maps showing natural features, and
will be divided on receipt of such maps from the Forest Survey of India.
The compartments have been arranged so that, in almost all places, their
boundaries follow roads, nalas or such other natural features, and where no such
limits are available, they will be demarcated by jo-feet line cut through the
forest and marked at suitable intervals with posts surrounded by cairns of stones or
munaras, and ditches 6' X 2' x 1-5' showing the direction of the boundaries
where stones are not procurable.
38. No analysis or valuation survey has been

of valuation employed. attempted. 1 he circles will be worked on the area check
system.
METHOD OF TREATMENT.
Objects sought to be attained. 39- The objects of the working-plan are: —
(i) To obtain a permanent outturn of such small produce as is required
locally with as little inconvenience to the people as practicable.
(a) To supply the demand of the people in timber, fuel, grass, grazing
and minor forest produce.
(3) To replace the present badly grown crop, so far as the demand will
admit, with a better growth from stools.
(4) To encourage a larger proportion of seedling growth especially of teak
by the exclusion of grazing and fire.
40. The treatment will be uniform in Circles Nos. I, IV and VII, and will con-
sist of improvement fellings of varying intensity, according
Method of treatment adopted. , , ,.. . => -/i i i • '* • &
to local conditions, carried out with the object of removing
as much of the bad growth and inferior trees and as many of the better class
poles as the demand requires, provided that a minimum of 50 trees per acre of
the best individuals of the best species will be reserved as standards.
Bamboo cuttings will be confined to the compartment open for the purpose.
Unrestricted removal of grass, minor produce and dead material will be allowed
from all the circles. Grazing will be freely allowed in all the grazing and
unworkable circles. The felling series have been divided into compartments
taking into consideration the grazing requirements so as to cause the least possible
inconvenience to the people. It is not expected that the compartments will be
fully worked over, but the object in dividing into compartments is more for the
closing to grazing and fire-protection purposes than with the idea of their being
fully worked over for fuel and timber.
41. A rotation of 30 years is generally considered in these provinces to be
_, a sufficient period for supplying small poles such as are
The exploitation age. . , , \, i W i i r i •
required by the people. The demand for poles is very
little, but the protection of forests from cattle and fire for a period of 10 years,
together with the affording of grazing to the cattle, has necessitated a. rotation o!
30 years.
THE FELLINGS.
42. The general scheme is to limit the fellings to fixed compartments

If a balance remains uncut in the previous year's compartments, such balance
may be utilized to meet the demand, provided that the compartments allotted for
the year shall be first cut over.
43. There is no reliable data from which the present capability of these
forests can be tested, as until recently the outturn was not restricted to any
particular area.

are prescribed.
44. The fellings have been prescribed for a period

46. (a) Six months before a compartment is worked, its boundaries should
be marked on the ground where no natural features are

curing the fellings ; forecast of available by a io-ieet line cut through the torest and
condition of erop at their con- marked at suitable intervals with posts surrounded by
elusion. . . j. ,
cairns or munaras and ditches.
(b) After the demarcation is complete and before any felling is allowed, the
Range and Sub-Range Officers should select and mark all the trees that are to
be protected and reserved as standards.
Reserves should be selected in numbers varying from 40 per acre on good
soil and in dense timber cover to 80 per acre in open forest and slopes of
hills, as far as easily accessible. On very poor and thinly clad areas all timber
should be reserved.
(c) No well-grown teak trees or good saplings of and under nine inches in
girth should be felled. Well-grown sound trees of the better species should be
selected for reserves. Healthy fruit trees such as mahua, char and harra, which
yield profitable fruit products and are otherwise good for shade and protection,
should also be reserved.
(d} No fellings should be allowed to approach within 66 feet of any outer
boundary or interior line, river bank, road, extensive blank or big ravine.
(<?) No fellings to be made on the tops of hills which are more or less open.
(/) All trees cut must be felled flush with the ground and the stools cleared
of branch wood and other impediments to the shoot growth.
(g) When compartments have been worked over they should be isolated from
the adjoining forest by burnt lines 50 feet wide.
No teak leaves will be removed.
47. At the conclusion of the rotation it is expected that the soil and density
of the crop will have improved. Straight grown coppice shoots rising
direct from the ground will have taken the place of the present badly grown crop
so far as the demand admits of this improvement, and a better proportion of
seedling growth, especially of the more valuable species, will have been secured.

Distributing this area over 101,390 head of cattle (vide Appendix E)
grazing annually gives r8 acres per head. In addition to the above there are
21,158 acres of B-I class forests as shown in para. 18 supra and 252,416 acres
of malguzari and ryotwari forests as detailed in Appendix E.
The demand for grazing is entirely for local cattle, the nomadic classes very
rarely visit these forests. The grazing of sheep and goats is prohibited.
Sowings, plantings or other 52. It is not proposed to resort lo any sowings, &c.,
work, special to each circle. during the first rotaiion.
53. Roads will have to be constructed from the coupes to the Nerbada to
Roads facilitate the removal of produce to be floated down- the
river lo Jubbulpore. No permanent roads are required
as the people are not accustomed to use carts. The paths will have to be
repaired in several cases.
54. A better class of buildings is absolutely necessary for the Rangers,
Buildings Sub Rangers and Guards. It is therefore proposed to
build one Ranger's, eight Sub-Rangers' and 30 Guards'
quarters at a cost of Rs. 300, 150 and 50 each respectively during the first 10
years of the rotation.
55. Each compartment in the felling series as soon as it is worked over to
Fire-protection. b.e DrouSht under systematic protection. Partial protec-
tion to be gradually extended during the first 10 years
over the rest of the working circles and the unworkable circle, as grass will be
grazed over and protection would be an easy task.
Boundaries. .56- Boundaries will be kept cleared and posts
repaired annually where necessary.
iS
Welis and tanks.
57. The kutcha well at Banjari will be made pacca
and existing wells and tanks repaired.
Miscellaneous prescriptions.
MISCELLANEOUS.
S8. Forms 2 and 3 should be kept up for each
working circle separately.
59. The principles advocated by the Inspector-General of Forests in his
Financial result of proposed Circular No. 1 2-Working-plan of zgth December 1894 are
""dong- to be followed in the case of departure from the pre-
scribed plan under —
(a) works of sylvicultural improvements ;
(b) works connected with the lines of communicat'on and export, and
(c) buildings, demarcations and minor works of improvement.
These principles are that in the case of works under (a) or (b) the Con-
servator should have power to sanction deviations, giving his reasons in Form
No. 3. In the case of works under (c) that the general plan might be prescribed
for a term of years, but the manner in which the details are carried out should
be controlled solely by the Conservator.

Appendix C.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE CROP IN EACH WORKING CIRCLE AND
FELLING SERIES.
/. — Chappara Working Circle.
The growth in all the felling series of this circle consists of Tectona grand is, Terminalia
tomentosa, Baswellia thurifera, Anogeisus latifolia, Zizyphus, Xylopyra, Ougeinia,
Dalbejioides, Bassia latifolia, Odina wodier, Butea frondosa, Diospyros melonoxylon,
Lagerstrcemia parviflora, etc. Better class of poles are found in felling series Nos. 2, 3,
and 4 which also contain in places blanks alternating with patches of Baswellia thurifera.
The forests are as a rule open towards the centre and irregular in growth. Grass lands
are fairly abundant. Reproduction is on the whole poor.
//. — Chappara Grazing Circle.
The growth in this circle consists mostly of the species mentioned above with the
exception of teak. The forests are open and contain scrubly growth in most places.
Reproduction is scanty.
///. — Chappara Unworkable Circle.
The growth in this circle consists of the species mentioned in the Chappara Working
Circle, but in a very poor state, especially in Meghdon and Sahajpuri blocks.
/ V. — Dhooma Working Circle.
The growth in all the felling series of this circle consists of the same species as
mentioned in the Chappara Working Circle, but it is less open. The proportion of teak
is greater in felling series No. 4 than in others. Basweliia thurifera is abundant in
felling series No. 3. Reproduction is scanty.
V. — Dhooma Grazing Circle.
The growth in this circle resembles that in the Chappara grazing circle with the
difference that a few teak trees are found in the Sunai Dongri, Londa and Bichwa blocks.
The growth is denser in the valleys than on the hills. Grass lands are abundant. Natural
reproduction is scanty.
VI. — Dhooma Unworkable Circle.
The growth in this circle consists of the species as mentioned in Circle No. I and
resembles that of Circle No. III. The forests are somewhat dense and contain better class
of teak poles. Small bamboos are found to a small extent in the Sherkumar block. Re-
production is fair.
VII.— Nerbada Working Circle.
The growth in felling series Nos. i and 2 resembles the growth in felling series No. 4
of the Dhooma Working Circle. The growth in the other felling series is somewhat better
and consists of Pterocarpus marsupium, Albizzia procera, Lebidicropois oebicularins in
addition to the species mentioned in the Chappara Working Circle, grass is abundant. Good
bamboos are found in felling series Nos. 4 (the eastern half) 5 and 6. The forests are
dense. Reproduction is fairly good.
VIII. — Nerbada Grazing Circle.
The growth in this circle is similar to that in Circle No. II, Chappara grazing circle,
with the difference that a few teak trees are found in Katori, Diwara, Rajola and Kathi
blocks. Kathi forests are very open, but very good grass is found in it. Reproduction is
scanty.
IX. — Nerbada Unworkable Circle.
The forests of this circle contain a good proportion of teak. Reproduction is not so
good.
