Lake Umbagog.

August 10.
tree still standing a little back from the shore on B. Point
opposite Lakeside, but now almost
dead is fully 70 feet in height
with a clean straight trunk about 15" in dia. 3 ft above its base
 There were a number of others 
almost as large on Metalluc Island before
its surface was cleared and remodeled
by its present owner Mr. Dutton
only a few years ago. A still larger
number of even finer pines of this
species were growing in 1899 (and
may be still for aught I know to
the contrary) at the head of the
Tyler Cove where during the year
just mentioned I examined trees
that measured feet in diameter
near the base of the trunk and
rose to an estimated height of
feet. [See Journal for exact details]
Although, as I have said, growing chiefly
on rocky points and islands Banks' Pine
may be found, at least sparingly, almost
anywhere on the shores of the Lake
save where they are so low as to be
subject to inundations and even there
it is not always wanting. The Yellow
rumped Warbler loves to nest on its low &
sweeping lateral branches and its rich
green foliage is very pleasing to the
eye, especially when bathed
in sunlight.
 The color of the foliage is deep, rich green slightly tinged with yellow
when seen in a strong light but, I think, without any trace of olive or glaucous.
