FOREST, FISH AND GAME COMMISSION. 69 strip, for example two rods wide, a rod on each side of the estimator. The soundtrees of each species are counted and a tally is kept. The area of these strips is then calculated. For example, a strip two rods wideand a mile long contains four acres ; or a strip two rods wide across a square forty-acre lot contains one acre. Knowing then, a, the total area of the strips; A, thearea of the whole forest; n, the number of trees on the strips; the number of treesin the whole forest can be obtained by the formula a :A :: n : N. An estimate is then made of the average number of logs per tree of each species,the number of logs required for 1,000 feet of lumber, the number of trees for a cordof pulpwood or firewood, the number of ties, telegraph poles, etc. From theseesti
