Remarks: 



The estimting of $he Meads Woodlot by the narrow and 

 broad strip methods was done in the fall of 1914. Five strips 

 were measured in applying the narrow-strip method and three in 

 the broad-strip method. The other two methods were done in the 

 months, of April and May 1916. 



The estimating of the Slim Jim Woodlot was started 

 during the Spring Kecess of 1916 and finished in the middle of 

 May. Eight strips were measured in the narrow-strip method and 

 four in the broad-strip. The work was done while the process 

 of eordwood-cutting was being carried on. But considering the 

 facts that Slim Jim is more irregular and uneven-aged and that 

 cutting was being carried on during the course of study, it is 

 surprising to note that, as a whole, the comparative results 

 in Slim Jim are more uniform than those obtained from Meads. 



Relative accuracy of the four methods used: 



The most accurate method is the "tree-to-tree-count", 

 second, the narrow strip, third, the broad strip, and fourth the 

 sample plot. In a small and uneven-aged stand such as Meads or 

 Slim Jim, the only way of obtaining accurate results is by using 

 the accurate method. In using the strip methods, it is apt to 

 run into strips with only very few trees on them, as in the 

 middle part of Slim Jim. In applying the sample plot method, 

 there is a tendency to select, instead of the most representa- 

 tive, the denser portions of the stand, thereby greatly ex- 

 aggerating the volume of the stand.
