Abstract
IN his book, Mr. R. Davey tells us that the work is the outcome of three years research into British commercial methods. “It is”, he says, “the first systematic study of the ocular system of measuring growing trees.” His laudable object was a simplification of methods of measuring trees and woods for sale, “so that the exercise of care can secure results at present attainable only after years of practice”. One of the chief objects of the research work was the much-vexed question of ‘taper’ in the bole.
