it should be considered as sufficiently accurate, but for all practical purposes Tables 
20 and 21 are to be preferred since they show the number of logs under each diameter 
class. 
TAPER. 
Table 22 shows the form or taper of the base for trees of various diameters measured 
at 7 feet above the ground in Maryland. 
The relation of height to diameters measured 
-at breastheight for trees in Maryland and Louisiana is given in Tables 23 and 24. 
Table 23 is based on too few trees to be reliable, but serves as an indication of the 
relative form.
