A remarkable feature of the. reforms is the decision to hand over the forest administration to the Legislature. The only province in India proper where forests have been made a "transferred" subject in the same way is Bombay, where the Forest Department controls 10.2 of the whole area of the province. In Burma it controls 64,2 per cent, covering some 227,000 square miles.

The Local Government at first took strong exception to the transfer. It pointed out that the conservation of the forests vitally affects the interests of future generations, and urged that these interests were unlikely to receive much consideration from the Legislature at its inception and until a sense of responsibility had been dercloped by training and experience. The after was described as one in which any serious mistake might be irremediable.
