13. The subjects enumerated in paragraph 10 are grouped in certain main branchcs of study, and a fixed minimum of qualificatlon is required in each branch and in the subjects taught during the forest toura, as well as a certain minimum for all branchcs taken together. Stuclents who obtain these minima will receive the College diploma in forestry.

14. Candidates who have obtained this diploma and are found to be of sound constitutlon and free from physical
    defects which would render them unsuitable for employment in the Foreat Department (the final decision on which point will rest with the Secretary of State for India), will be ap-
    pointed Aasistant Conseryators in the Foreat Department of India in the order of their standing at the end of the final
    examinatlon. They will be allowed before leaving the Col-
    lege to state their preferenoe in respect to the provinces to which they desire to be allotted; but the distribution will be
    mado to the several provinces according to the needs of the public service, at the discre-tion of the Secretary of State
    for India after consultin the President of the College and the Principal Profeasor of Forestry. Offioers are, however,
    at all times liable to be transforred from one provinco to anothor at the pleasuro of the Government of India.

15. Wlthin a month of his nomlnation as Aasistant Con-
    aervator, each nominoe must sign articles of agreement de-
    scribing the terms and conditions of his appolntment; he
    muat embark for India when required to do so by the Secre-
    tary of State, and will be provided with a free paasage.
    Falture to embark at the stated time will, in the aboence of
    satisfactory explanation, lead to forfeiture of appolntment.

16. The pay of an Aasistant Conaervator of Foreata will
    begin from the date of reporting arrlval in India. Proba-
    tioners who aquit themselves creditably during their course
    at Coopcr's Hill College will begin on a salary of R8. 350 a
    month. It will, however, rest with the President of the
    College, in consultatlon with the Principal Profeasor of
    Forestry, to decide whether any of the probatloners, though
    thoy have obtained the College diploma in forestry, have
    failed to deserye that rate of initial salary. Such proba-
    tioners, if any, will begin on a salary of R8. 250 a month;
    and this difference of salary will continue until the first
    dcpartmental examinatlon is passed in India. Offlcera en-
    tering the forest service will be required to contrlbutc a sub-
    scription rangoing from a compulsory minimum of 5 per cent.
    up to a voluntary maximum of 10 per cent. of their salary
    to the Foreat Officors' Provldent Fund. Such contributlons,
    with compouud interest, will accumulato till the date of
    retiremcnt, when the total sum will be paid to the contri-
    butor, or, in the event of death before retiremcnt, to his legal
    representative.

17. Promotion, leave, and ponsion will be governod by the
    regulations lald down by the Government of India and made
    applicabla to forest offlccrs, such regulations being subject
    to any modiflcatlons or altorations which may be made in
    thom from time to time by the Government of India, and
    their interpretatlon in case of any doubt arlslng being left
    to that Government. The more favourabla ponsion rules
    applicabla to Public Worka and Tclegraph officers appointod
    from Coopcr's Hill College have been extended to Foreat
    officers appointod from England; and the Inapecter-General
    of Foreata and Conaervators of the flrst grade are now eliglble
    for the extra ponsion of R8. 1,000 per annum admlssible to
    an officer after at least three years of approved service as a
    head of a department in any provinco, if considered deservlog
    of the special concossion. A copy of the regulations relative
    to these matters can be seen on application either at the
    Llbrary or the Record Department of the India Office; the
    principl rules are contained in the Abstract of the Ciyil
