it should be considered as sufficiently accurate, but for all practical purposes Tables 

 20 and 21 are to be preferred since they show the number of logs under each diameter 

 class. 



Table 22 shows the form or taper of the base for trees of various diameters measured 

 at 7 feet above the ground in Maryland. The relation of height to diameters measured 

 at breastheight for trees in Maryland and Louisiana is given in Tables 23 and 24. 

 Table 23 is based on too few trees to be reliable, but serves as an indication of the 

 relative form.

For trees of known diameter at breastheight up to. 20 inches, the taper at 1, 3, 5, 

 and 7 feet above the ground is shown in Table 23.
