1 The figures for trees 10 inches and over in diameter in the 60-foot height class, and for all trees in the 

 70, 80, and 90 foot height classes were originally published in Forest Service Circular 126, and are based on 

 data secured in Gallatin County, Mont. The figures for all trees in the 50-foot height class and for the 7 

 and 8 inch trees in the 60-foot height class are based on data secured in Deerlodge County, Mont. The 

 figures for 9-inch trees in the 60-foot height class are interpolated.
