le \~2 Drives tho total number of trees 6 inches and over, the average 

 diameter of all trees and the annual rate of decrease in the number of 

 trees with the increase in the age of the stand. This table is of value in 

 showing which portion of the yield is contributed by the trees in the 

 dominant crown class. It shows the approximate number of trees which 

 would he removed in thinning unthinned stands by deducting the num- 

 ber of dominant trees from the total number of trees. (See page 159.) 

 Tables 43 and 44 show the number of trees 9 inches and over and 11 

 inches and over per acre respectively and their average diameters at 

 different ages in fully stocked stands. By combining Table 42 with 

 Tables 43 and 44 the number of trees over 6 inches in diameter left per 

 acre after cutting to 9 and 11 inches in diameter breasthigh can be 

 obtained.
