TABLE 1-9. (A) The ranking of the tree genera according to their frequency in the tree lists (there were thirty— seven lists (one of which only survives in part, while another contained only the broad-leaved trees) — see Tables 1-2 to 1-8 for the data from which this table has been compiled); (B) Their ranking according to their frequency in a tally of all other records apart from the lists (see Table 1-1). (The number in square brackets gives the precise number of lists or records for each tree.)

i Maple: The species is named as either ’rock’ or ‘sugar’ maple (i.e. Acer saccharum) in only five of the 64 records; however from the context this would seem to be the species for an additional 31 records (seven refer to maple sugar and 24 to undisturbed upland hardwood forest). The species is named as 'white’ or ‘red’ maple (i.e. A. rubrum) in three of the records, and seems to be so for two others: one in successional woodland and the other in a swamp. There are also two references to mountain maple and two to striped maple.

f Birch: The species is named as either ’black’ or ’yellow’ birch (i.e. Betu/a alleghanienSIZS) in fifteen of the 70 records and is likely to be so for an additional 22 records for which the context is either undisturbed upland hardwood forest (18 records), or birch 'ton timber’ or ’square timber' (four records). It is named as ’white' birch (i.e. B. papyr/fera) in thirteen of the records (I include here the ‘bou/eau’ of Plessis (1812)), to which may be added seven additional records for which the context is successional habitat, and four referring to birch bark.
