The following table summarizes for the entire area examined the characteristics and condition of the several species of timber trees.

Average statistics of forest trees in Olympic Forest Reserve.


Species.	Height.	Diameter.	Clear.	Dead.	Diseased.	Age.

Red fir	176	37	41	6	8	200
Cedar	106	34	21	10	24	185
Hemlock	117	20	21	7	12	139
Spruce	187	48	49	4	5	190
Lovely fir	122	23	26	5	13 /4/4	143

It is to be noted that the Sitka spruce is the largest tree upon the peninsula, both in height and diameter, and that its proportion of dead and deceased is the smallest. Next to this species comes the red fir, while the cedar is a compartively small tree and has a high percentage of dead and diseased individuals.
