Obsei-vutions on Table IX, 



On examining several oalc woods, it appeared to me, that |>emaTbs, 

 .the distance of one third of their height was not too much, 

 where the trees were from 30 to 40 feet high and upwards. 

 1 have therefore calculated a table according to the distance 

 of one fourth of their height, till they are 28 feet higli, and 

 according to the distance of one third of their height after- 

 ward. 



Th€ tirafeer to be thinned out before the age of 28 years 

 will be the same as in Table VI ; but at 28 years of age there 

 are 583 feet more to be cut out according to this table than 

 at the same age in Table VI ; there will however be less to 

 he cut out between the «ges of 28 and 60 years of age. But 

 if the tr^es in this table,, in consequence of having more 

 room, were to increase I5 inch in circumference annually, 

 instead of I inch after they are 28 years of age, the produce 

 of an acre at 60 years of age would equal the produce staied 

 in Table VI at the same age; taking into consideration, 

 that the value of the 583 feet excess cut out at 28 years of 

 age would then be more than quadrupled, if the money 

 "were placed out at 5 per cent compound interest. A con-
