The ridge type occupies the upper slopes and the tops of the 

 mountains and ridges. This t}~pe is characterized by thin soils 

 covering the upper slopes, which are usually very steep or precipi- 

 tous, and the more or less flattened tops of the ridges. The balsam 

 fir is well distributed throughout this type and, although this 

 species constitutes a relatively small percentage of the stand, it 

 at once becomes prominent because of its regular form and de- 

 velopment which contrasts strongly with the short boles and ir- 

 regular crowns of the hardwoods found here. (See Plate II.) 

 Specimens of black cherry are frequent but they are of too poor 

 form to be of any value. The remainder of the stand consists 

 of about an equal distribution of beech, birch and maple, all of
