KERRY WOODS. 



In Groups L 5 and L 6 , however, a marked change is to be 

 noticed in the crop. The larch there has made comparatively 

 poor growth, and although still the dominant tree, has not 

 succeeded in completely suppressing the other species. Hence 

 it comes about that in Group L 5 there are present 340 other 

 conifers per acre and in L 6 460 per acre. It will be noticed that 

 in every case the spruce is present in the greatest numbers.

Effect of Wind. 



In addition, however, to what may be termed the diminishing 

 vegetative activity of the larch at the higher elevations, there is 

 another factor which has probably played an even greater part in 

 accounting for the survival of the other conifers viz., the wind. 

 In order to obtain some figures relative to the increasing damage
