Incidentally each woodlot has been roughly mapped. Since the 

 terms abundant .fair, poor are rather indefinite, and often used comparatively 

 it seems advisable to define exactly what is meant by these terms as 

 used in this study. If the cones averaged eight or more to the bunch and 

 each of the principal upper branches of the tree bore a bunch the 

 crop was considered abundant. If X only one half the upper branches bore 

 cones the crop was considered fair. Any smaller crop was considered poor. 



An attempt was made to count every white pine and a fair 

 proportion of other species in each woodlot. 



The reproduction study was made during the summer of 1915, 

 and the following form was used in keeping field notes.
