Without full knowledge of what the plans ara, it is not possible to make a fair julgment an the whole, but from such information has replied me I gather broadly that it is supposed that pine trees arrive at maturity for felling at the age of 25 years and that their felling and re-planting are necessary in order to preserve tho xberescunt growth of the Colony I can only imagine that the Government has accepted adrice to that effect, and that the prospect of immediate revenu to be obtained from the fellings has had no influence in the rainfall for longer than bare grond, Asable, but under our heal candilious, no vatural.

In my opiniou it will be many years hence botore there will be necessity for beginning general felling al xu-planting, and when that time docs arrivo it will probably be found that either the system of "block" nor "selection" fellings are the best suited to Hongkong which will require modification of the mehode of rotation felling of other places, as it required modification in the formation of plantations.

In Hongkong there are pine trees 60-70 years old in good health and condition 40 years seems the estimated age of pine trees as given to the Government as I see from the newspapers, Even if trees uctaully died at 50 years, general fellings need not be made when they are only 5 years old. There are other things, which operate in the reveal of plantations besides folling and planting, which should be "taken into consideration.

A little reflection

shows that, if trees are to be felled at

There can be no question that the older the trees grow the more picturesque they become: that this is recognize by the residents of Hongkong, as well as by the last Superintendent of this Department. Mr. Ford, is fully shown by their lettura and writings in the local press. Considering however, (1) that the 25-3) year-old tree is good tree, 25-80 feet high; (9) that growth rapidly falls off after this age; and (3) that the high rate of interest on money in Hongkong and the varione risks affecting the plantations, point to a low rotation, the tiverament is perhaps hardly justified in incurring the loss entailed by a longer one?
