FORM TABLES. 



The following tables give diameters inside bark at different heights for average 

 birch, beech, maple, and basswood trees in Michigan and Wisconsin . Above breast- 

 height, the distance from the ground are in units of 8.15 feet above a 1-foot stump. 

 These units represent the half of a 16.3-foot log. The practical use of these tables 

 is to permit scaling trees of given size in terms of any desired log rule, but they also 

 serve as a basis for comparing the species with regard to form. (See similar tables 

 in Bulletin 152, "The Eastern Hemlock.")
