Typical fruiting bodies. juries, and the presence of the unmistakable swells and pitch flows occurring at old branch whorls all aid in the determination of the presence and extent of decay within a tree. The amount of decay bears a certain relation to the age of a stand, becoming greater as the stand grows older. Owing to this fact, a table similar to the cull table given on page 25 of the Reconnaissance Manual of District 1, United States Forest Service, but giving the rot percentage only for a range of age classes for each tree species would prove of value in judging the decay in the stand. Such a table would give a range in rot percentages to be.
