no that Javans 1 suggestion odT~typiiig ac- 

 cording to composition is simply re- 

 stating what is on tlio estimate shoots, 

 which is \;hat I purpose to do in the 

 office from the shoots themselves. 

 M^RGOr-IIT: I ~ould liho to acl: Eodge 

 if the suggestion Mr. Evans has inado isn't 

 a good one. '.Thy not sit in your office 

 ancl draw complete maps? 

 HODG3: That is exactly what they have 

 done ; and I inr/y say that is what Evans 

 did when ho typed that map* 

 F.UDI1TGT01T: Shore seems to "be an ad- 

 ditional argument for distinction of 

 types "by composition because of tho new 

 policy in tho oierra Sugar Pine sale, 

 particularly in a country where there is 

 great variation in spocios or groups of 

 spooies. If stumpage ratos are to "be 

 basod on tho percentage of species to 

 "be cut we have got to liavo a definite 

 lino of types "by composition of species 



in order to apply our figure that wo 

 gat "by marliing sample plats in type to 

 the total area of those types within 

 tho traot to "be cut over, 

 HITCBUIIi: It all depends on what you 

 want your map for. If for timber sale 

 administration a map showing timber 

 typos or the composition of tho stand 

 is desirable, but if it is -o serve as 

 a basis for management a m:,p showing 

 silvi cultural types and site classes is 

 absolutely essential. There aro two 

 distinct and s oparato things and there 

 is no need of confusing tliem Have yonr 

 silvicultural types as a basis for man- 

 agoment and have your timber types to 

 sho\7 present stand and distribution, 

 but cLon't confuse them as they each 

 servo a distinct purpose. 

 ST01TSR: In tho largo area of lands 

 that will come under land classifica- 

 tion worlr we will have the soil report- 

 ed on, 



EARGOLIiT: I would lilie to aslr Hodge for 

 G definition of the term physical type. 

 HOJDGS: I will give it a's defined by 

 Dist,6. ' T As I looli at it wo desire that 

 forest land be typed in order that we 

 may Imow what its physical conditions
