FouETH Annual Report of the 



Table II gives similar information for only the areas within the 

 two parks. Table III includes the areas outside the two parks. 

 It will be noticed that no parts of Glintonj Fulton, Lewis, Oneida 

 or Washington counties lie within the parks, and that no portion 

 of Hamilton county is without the Adirondack park. These 

 figures show that 75 per cent, of the area within the parks, con- 

 stituting 1,134,631 acres, contains merchantable timber, while 

 15 per cent, more (225,096 acres) is also forest-covered although 

 the growth is not of merchantable size. It is, therefore, ob- 

 served that 90 per cent, of the lands within the parks are forest 

 covered. A further examination indicates that 3.5 per cent, is 

 water and 6.5 per cent, is denuded.
