Abstract
So far as is known to us there is no published account of a dendrometer record of white pine growth behavior. Brown (2) studied growth behavior and cambial activity using the histological method; Goldthwait and Lyon (5) studied secondary growth in relation to water supply, using annual ring width as the criterion of growth; Hastings (7) studied time and position in the tree when initiation of diametral increase began; Henderson, Brown and Mac Kay (8), using borings, studied growth rate in relation to size of tree and character of stand; Lyon (12) used annual rings from sections of trees felled by the New England hurricane of September 1938; and Priestley (14) comments on initiation of cambial activity in conifers in general; but we are aware of no published dendrometer record.
