Book Description
Excerpt from Proceedings of the California Academy of Natural Sciences, 1858-1862, Vol. 2 The question is often mooted in our courts, whether the age of a tree can be determined with any degree of accuracy by referring to the rings or growth of the wood. F rom the observations I have made during a period of twenty years, or more, I have long since been convinced, that as a. General thing each ring or growth of the timber represented a year of the existence of the tree. The specimen presented this evening, goes to substantiate more clearly, my previous conclusions.
