Mr. Fremont Fuller, of Duane, Franklin county, N. Y., reports 

 a black spruce, 10 feet 3 inches in circumference, or about 41 

 inches in diameter, outside the bark, breast high above the 

 ground. This tree, which is sound and healthy, is standing in a 

 clump of spruces with six other large ones near it, and overtops 

 the surrounding forest. It stands on the K. W. J of Town- 

 ship 15, on Lot 3, about two miles from the hotel at Meacham 

 Lake.
