Relation of Type to Situation. From the above list it will be seen that 

 chestnut is by far the most important species. On some of the slopes of 

 medium elevation it forms as high as 70 per cent, of the stand. It is most 

 commonly found with the red and white oaks, in the draws and swales. 

 Along the ponds and brooks, basswood, tulip, sycamore, beech and black 

 birch are found, mixed with chestnuts and oaks. Toward the upper slopes 

 chestnut-oak and hickory become prominent, while on the extreme tops 

 the scrub oak forms a dense thicket scarcely breast high.
