TABLE XIII. 



ACRE No. 2. 

 Lot No. 12, Roaring Brook Tract, Essex County, N. Y. 



NOTES. On high land with an easterly exposure. The surrounding forest has the appear- 

 ance of having been burned over at some previous time, many years ago. The original field- 

 notes pertaining to the survey of this lot call for a corner on a burned hill. This corner is only 

 a short distance from the strip on which these measurements were made. The hardwood 

 has the appearance of a second growth, and some of the larger ones show the effects of fire. 



* A " standard " log is 13 feet long and 19 inches in diameter at the smallest end, inside the 

 bark, and contains 183 feet of lumber, board measure. In the Adirondack forests the lumber- 

 men cut all their logs 13 feet long.
