This is the accijrete method. Every tree above 6" is 

 measured. For every tree calipered, a chalk-mark is made at 

 right angles to the direction in which the crew is proceeding. 



Computation of the Volume of the ,^tand: 



After the stands have been measured, the results are 

 put down in a tabulated form and the volume of the stand estima- 

 ted by applying volume tables. In this study, the volume of 

 white pine in board feet is obtained by applying the "Volume 

 Table for Trees Hear Ithaca" (Based on tables in bulletins 96, 

 36 and others, with values for appropriate heights from height 

 curve. Data by class in Forestry 11), while the volimes of 

 white oak, red oak, and "miscellaneous" composed of all the trees 

 other than the three specified, are estimated in cubic feet, and 

 the "Cubic Volume and Heights for Hardwoods — Cornell University 

 Woodlots" constructed by B. H. Paul is used in its application. 

 Site 3 is used. 



The sum total of the results in the white pine column 

 is the volume of white pine in board feet for the whole stand. 

 The same is true in white oak, red oak, and "miscellaneous", 

 and the total of the three columns gives in cubic feet the vol- 

 ume of the stand for hardwoods and hemlock which is the only 

 other conifer in the two woodlots measured (Tree-to-tree-count 

 method). For the strip and circular -plot methods, the volume 

 of the stand is obtained by dividing the total acreage of the 

 woodlot by the area estimated, and multiplyimg the result by the 

 total volume obtained.
