I The determination of size class of ownership was based on the total com- 

 mercial forest land area in the ownership. Some pulp company ownerships 

 now primarily producing lumber were classified as lumber manufacturers. 

 This was particularly true in the Lake States. 



2 Includes ownerships containing 3 to 100 acres of commercial forest land 

 in the East and 10 to 100 acres in the West. 



3 Certain types of ownerships were omitted in these regions because owner- 

 ship of the omitted types were absent or were so small that total areas by 

 size class would not be adequately determined by sampling procedure.
