Notes.— On high land with an easterly exposure. The surrounding forest has the appear- 

 ance of having been burned over at some previous time, many years ago. The original field- 

 notes pertaining to the survey of this lot call for a corner on a burned hill. This corner is only 

 a short distance from the strip on which these measurements were made. The hardwood 

 has the appearance of a second growth, and some of the larger ones show the effects of fire.

 bark, and contains 183 feet of lumber, board measure. In the Adirondack forests the lumber- 

 men cut all their logs IB feet long.
