314 IMPROVING THE ACCURACY OF TIMBER ESTIMATES 



a history of each individual tree, but the total number of trees in each 

 class is recorded in height classes as follows: 



Overtopped =|' in height; 

 I' = 2' in height; 

 2' = 4' in height; 

 4'=1" in diameter. 

 Free, same classes. 



By inch classes, 1, 2 and 3 inches. In these inch classes 

 the trees are recorded in five crown classes: x, d, c, i, 

 and s previously indicated.
