2 The "log" volume is the solid contents of wood and bark between a stump height of 1 foot and the 

 "diameter inside bark of top" shown in the twelfth column. The volume of ''top" is that contained in 

 the stem above this point, and in addition all branches suitable for cordwood having a diameter, outside 

 bark, of 4 inches or more at the middle of a 5-foot stick.

i See "A Volume Table for Red Maple on the Harvard Forest," by E. E. Carter; Bulletin of the Harvard 

 Forestry Club, Vol. II, 1913, pp. 1-8. 



The volumes are for stem and branch wood to a minimum diameter, outside bark, of about 2 inches at 

 the middle of a 4-foot length. The measurements were taken in a wide variety of types, including bottom 

 or swale, pine slope, swamp, and birch and maple coppice. Most of the trees more than 6 inches in diameter 

 breast-high were of seedling origin.
