The necessity of such a tremendous deduction for defect is 

 explained in the forest description. 



The map, which accompanies this report, is based upon strictly 

 horizontal measurements. Topography was adapted from the 

 Phoenicia and Margaretville quadrangles of the United States 

 Geological Survey. In future work of a similar nature, eleva- 

 tions could better be secured by means of aneroid barometers. 

 The location and names of the chief peaks is somewhat different 

 from that shown on the geological survey maps; a new name 

 (Mt. Leonard) has been adopted to distinguish the high point 

 of Big Indian mountain from the peak which is locally known as 

 Big Indian. 



All the original figures have been kept on file in the Depart- 

 ment of Forestry at Cornell University, where access may be 

 had to them at any time.
