Abstract
RECENT research work exemplifies the close collaboration maintained between the Central Research Institute at Dehra Dun, India, and the local research officers maintained in the various provinces of the country. It also furnishes evidence of a wider connexion. The first yield tables for plantation teak were made by Bourne in 1919–21 for the Nilumbur teak plantation situated some forty–five miles up the Beypur River from Calicut on the west coast of Madras. This famous plantation was started by the collector of the district, Conolly, in 1844, and was for long regarded as the pioneer in this work. But hi Java the Dutch had commenced to plant teak successfully at an earlier date; for in 1932 Dr. Wolff von Wiilfing compiled some yield tables for teak plantations in Java which include trees up to one hundred and ten years of age.
