The kingdom of Siam.. . oned the raising ofthe minimum girth from fifty-one inches to 76^/2inches. In 1900-01 most of the old leases expired and afurther new form of lease was brought into force forsuch forests as Government decided should still beworked. This form provided for the closing of onehalf of the original areas and prohibited any furthergirdling by lessees. The royalty was also raised from 4.25 Rs. a logto 10 Rs. per large and 6 Rs. per small log. A short account of the system under which teakis worked may be of interest. The trees selectedare first killed (girdled) by cutting a ring round thetree near the ground, well into the heart-wood. They are then left standing for two years at leastto season, when they are felled, logged, and draggedusually by elephants, into the nearest floatingstreams. Parties of elephants are also kept workingthe main streams to break up stacks and keep thetimber moving. Across the flat country carts are now being largelyintroduced, dragged by buffaloes, as such work can. C5Z 3OO Forestry 177 be done in the hot weather when elephants cannotbe used. Various mechanical contrivances have also beenintroduced by the Borneo Company, Limited, andthe Bombay Burmah Trading Corporation, Limited, with wire ropes to drag the logs over hills which aretoo steep for elephants.

The average annualarrivals at Paknampo amount to some one hundredthousand logs. Salween timber is floated singly to Kyodan, arafting station some seventy miles north of Moul-mein, then rafted to Kado, where the Governmentinspection and collection of duties is carried outbefo
