NOTES. This acre is a primitive forest in which the hardwoods predominate. It is on a 

 piece of table land, well watered from slopes on either side. The maples and beeches are 

 thrifty and tall, this acre being a good type of an Adirondack forest in which there is a good 

 growth of spruce intermixed among the hardwoods. The undergrowth is composed largely of 

 Mountain Maple Oicer spicaturri) and small Yellow Birch.

NOTES This acre represents a portion of virgin forest situated on rising ground, well

 is a fair example of the ridges on which the spruce predominates, and where it grows in com- 

 pany with other conifers.
