Turnbull, B.Sc, and Percival C. Waite. Trans. Edin. Bot. Soc, December 1897, xxi. pp. 87-94, with plate of curves.--This paper gives measurements of radii, diameters, and girths of trees blown down in November 1893. The Diameter-Increment Of The Wood Of Coniferous Trees At Braemar In Relation To Climatic Conditions. By R. Turnbull, B.Sc. Trans. Edin. Bot. Soc, December 1897, xxi. pp. 94-104, with plate.
