In conclusion, it can safely be said that, in a large, 

 even-aged and open stand, the broad strip method is sui'f iciently 

 accxirate and sample plots may be taken to serve as a check to 

 the results. In an irregular and uneven-aged stand, the narrow 

 strip method should be used, but in estimating a small and uneven- 

 aged stand, it is fair to say that the accurate method is the 

 only one to be used in order to avoid exaggerating or under- 

 estimating the volume of the stand. 



KOTi): The broad strip method has been misinterpreted. 

 Instead of measuring one strip in every 4 or 5 chains as des- 

 cribed the width of the strips is larger than those in narrow- 

 strip method.
