Height, from 125to 140 feet, with a virtually clear trunk of from 40 to 60 feet diameter, from3 to 4 feet. Its majestic size is surpassed among its sort only by the sugarpine. Unusually big trees are from 150 to 180 feet higher, even though trees are saidto have been found more than 200 feet high. The biggest diameter recorded is about8 feet. The bark of old trunks is marked by very broad, shield-like, russet-redplates, which could be from three to four inches thick, especially close to the base of thetree. The surface of this bark is peculiar in getting made up of little, concavescales. Younger trees, up to 2 feet in diameter, are really unlike older ones inhaving dark i-ed-browi^ or blackish, narrowly furrov^ed bark. Young shoots,which have a sturdy odor of orange when broken, are yellowish green and FOREST TREES OF THE PACIFIC SLOPE. 43
