Table Vil. — Showing Maximum and Minimum Resistances based on 

 the Averages' obtained from the North, South, East and West Sides of 



This table is adapted from Table V. It will be noticed that 

 the highest average resistance was obtained on the west side for 

 the 8 A.M. observations, and the north side gave the highest aver- 

 age resistance for the two following observation periods, viz., at 

 12 M. and 4 p.:\r. The lowest average resistance from March 

 18 to 31 occurred on the east side for each of the three periods. 

 The average daily resistance for the whole period — 9 a.m. to 

 4 r.M. — was as follows: north side, 51,957 ; west side, 51,230 ; 

 sontli side, 48,773 and east side, 41,189. These results coincide 

 with those given in the preceding tables, that is, the north side 

 shows in general the highest resistance.

 saccharum, Marsh) from March 18-31, 1909. Resistances taken at 

 8 A.M., 12 M. and 4 p.m. on the South Side of the Tree.
