This gives the final curve indicated in the solid line. In this the sinuosities still occur at the same places as in the original upper curve, but are more distinct than there. Taken as a whole the finally corrected curve does not trend markedly either up or down, though the portion included in the seventeenth century is on the whole somewhat higher than that of the two later centuries.

Vertical scale: one small square equals inch. Let us next examine the other curves derived from data furnished by the United States Forest Service. With these I have included the last 300 years of the curve of the Sequoia washingloniana based on nearly 200 trees measured in 1911. This may here be treated in the same way as the others, although in the next chapter we shall consider the entire. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Carnegie Institution of Washington.
