1 From "Hemlock in Vermont," by A. F. Hawes, State forester; Vt. Agr. Exp. Sta. Bulletin 161 (Janu- 
uarv, 1912), p. 8. The table was constructed by "subtracting the volumes of the trees inside the bark from 
their volumes outside the bark, and multiplying by 0.4, on the assumption that 40 per cent of an average 
stacked cord of bark is solid bark." The accuracy of this factor (taken from Schenck's "Forest Mensura- 
tion," 1905, p. 14) was borne out by investigations of a few piles of bark. 
The following taper tables give diameters inside bark at different 
heights for average hemlock trees of various sizes in the Lake States 
and Southern Appalachians. The distances from the ground are in 
units of 8.15 feet above a 2-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 hemlock with other species in regard 
to form. The tables were prepared from existing measurements by 
W. B. Barrows.

sizes, based on measurements of 614 trees in Wisconsin ( Marinette and Vilas Counties) 
and Michigan (Gogebic County).
