Table A — Average Growth oj .',51 Sequoia Trees in California, by Decades and Centuries 

 of the Life of tlie Trees, beginning with their Youth. 



[This table is the basis of the Corrective Factor for Age, shown in figures 33 and 36, and first column of Table E.] 



* This means the total number of groups of rings upon which the figures are based. Each group contains 10 rings. 



Table B. — Comparative Growth of Short-lived and Long-lived Sequoias, by Groups; Corrective 



Factor for Longevity. (See figure 37.) 



* The first rolumn shows the total number of decades for all the trees of a group combined, and the second column shows the total growth. 

 decades are available for one tree, the inner decade being rotted away, 23 for another, and 25 for a third, the basis would be 72.
