On the north side of Harleston House, and 60 yards from the

towering to the height of 90 feet. It has a beautiful well-balanced

ing 140 yards north of No. 19, on a rising bank facing the east, in 
an exposed situation. At 3 feet from the base it girths 24 feet 
34 inches. This tree has lost some immense arms; the largest

At 12 feet from the ground an enormous limb grows out,

appearance. At 3 feet from the bole this limb girths 10 feet 
11 inches, the whole tree containing 924 cubic feet of timber.
