 good. On 3 acres on the Dobelbach, 8090 

 years old spruce, cover complete and growth 

 good.

 silver fir, some older; on the whole cover fairly 

 complete; toward compartment -Schwarzen- 

 berg somewhat thin, but on about 10 acres with 

 a fair young crop of silver fir and spruce up to 

 15 years old. Growth fairly good, on the 

 higher part inferior. About 5 acres along the
