Monthly and progressive data of weight loss of mixed leaflitter kept in nylon bags on the diara floor showing maximum decomposition during rainy season 58.3 percent. The turnover time required to decompose the residual leaflitter was 107 days. Analysis of variance between months and dry weight of litter was found significant (P<0.00l) and the variance ratio (F) was 35.9956. Decomposition constant (K) of mixed leaf litter was 3.39.
