' Includes roundwood equivalent of net imports of lum- 

 ber, pulpwood, woodpulp and paper, veneer logs and bolts 

 and veneer-log equivalent of veneer and veneer products. 

 Includes roundwood volume cut from dead and cull trees. 

 Volume of products recovered from plant residues is in- 



cluded in the roundwood volume from which the residue 

 was obtained. Veneer cores, for example, are plant resi- 

 dues often used for pulpwood; here they are included in 

 the volume of veneer logs and bolts. 

 - Lumber, timbers, sawed ties, etc.
