20 Teak Saplings planted between the years 1844 
and 1863, showing the stages of growth ot this 
description of Timber. übtained by A. Mac 
gregor, Esq., from Malabar, at the mstance ot 
Major Beddome, Inspector of Forests, Madras 
Presidency. 
“ The finest teak plantation in the Madras Presi 
dency, and indeed in all India, is the Conolly plan 
tation on the River Bepur, in Malabar. It was 
formed by Mr. Conolly, the collector of Malabar, in 
1844 ; and in 1862 Mr. Ferguson, the present Super 
intendent, took Charge. He continued to plant 100 
acres a year. The plantations are on undulatmg 
ground, along both banks of the river, in a climate 
where the rainfall is 150 inches. They are in narrow 
belts extending for six miles, with a width from halt 
a mile to a mile. The river is navigable to the sea 
so that there are great facilities for the removal of 
timber. In planting new ground the jungle is telled 
and prepared for burning at the dose of the dry sea- 
son Nurseries are formed in April, lhe seed is 
steeped in cold water for 48 hours and sown on 
raised beds of fine mould covered with straw, to pre- 
vent too rapid evaporation, and constantly watered 
until the seeds germinate in 12 or 20 days. _ When 
the rains commence, the plants are put out in lines 
six feet apart, in pits a foot square and dcep, filled 
with good surface mould. The ground is hoed and 
weeded from time to time, but after four years the 
young plantations keep down the grass and jungle by 
their own shade. Thinnings are made in the fifth 
year. The largest teak trees are now live feet in 
girth, with noble straight stems, without a branch 
for 60 or 70 feet. Up to 1865, the number of seed- 
lings planted was 1,678,679, occupying 1,696 acres, 
and at the rate of 1,000 trees to an acre there are now 
about 1,800,000 trees. The yield in 18/0-71 was 
4,0/5 saplings floated to the depot at Calicut, bemg 
the thinnings of the plantation, which more tlian 
repay the annual outlay.”—“ The Moral and Mate 
rial Progress and Condition of India,” by Clements 
R. Markham.
