Then becaufe 1 80 foot, or 60 yards is the ^M»/e*er ; 30 

 • yards will be the femidiameter : And by the former 

 Analogies 113. 355 :: 60. 188;-

 That is, the Cotftent of ground upon which this Tree 

 ferpendicnlarly drops , is above 2827 fquare yards, 

 which is above half an Acre of ground : And the aG-

And becaufe a Tun of Timber is faid to contain forty fb-
