Vineyard feel quite at home. On approaching this road east 
from Huntington, Long Island, we saw our first right angle tree 
—quite isolated from any other such trees and bent at an angle 
toward the state road. This tree was very slender, only four 
inches in diameter, and was surrounded by other small trees, all 
straight. Between this point and Smithtown, Long Island, we 
came upon the trail of many old bent trees (figure 2). The 
FicureE 2. Right angle tree near Smithtown, L. I. 
greatest find was a row of at least fifty-two trees near Cen- 
tereach, Long Island. They looked very old, were lopped over 
quite near the ground, and stood close to one another. This row, 
at an angle of 60° to the Middle Island Road, stood out clearly 
against the landscape because of the cleared fields on either 
side. This particular lop fence is the best example we have ever 
found. Rumors of others in Pennsylvania and Ohio have as 
yet not been confirmed by the writer.
