practicable, observations were made so as to give an account: 
of the number of trees representing each species. First, in: 
the bed of the valley, including also, in most cases, about an, 
equal area of slope; second, the side hill at that part of the 
slope which appeared on all accounts to be most nearly a. 
medium between hill-top and valley; and third, the top of the. 
hill or ridge, including more or less slope. The tables are so. 
arranged as to give the relative abundance of different species. 
for a number of localities at these levels, The per cent. of 
each species in a given locality, the per cent. of each species. 
at the several levels for all localities included, and the per cent. 
of each species in the whole timber growth of the country, are: 
also given; the counts chosen being regarded as representa-. 
tive for this part of Eastern Kentucky. It should be remarked’ 
here that in some instances an unusual growth of certain spe- 
cies, from some cause to which it is important to call attention,. 
has been included; but with such qualifications as are made in 
the general mention of species, the tables will be found reason-- 
ably correct.
