Comments
"The field studies on which this bulletin is based were made on the Yale Demonstration and Research Forest near Keene, New .Hampshire, by Doctor Li, under the direction of Professor Toumey. The original draft of the report was prepared by Doctor Li, as part of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Yale University. In order to make the report suitable for publication as one of the series of bulletins of the School of Forestry, it has been partially rewritten, condensed, and rearranged by Professor Toumey, who also revised the proof sheets.
