All he did was to touch the ground with the outstretched fingers of his long arms now and then, just as one sees a man who carries a stick, but does not need one, touch the ground with it as he walks along. A study of the individual tests upon which the average points are based shows, however, that when it is not associated with light weight and a small proportion of summer wood, rapid growth is not indicative of weak wood. Thou camest unto us, and we welcomed thee: go in peace. Just above the covering of the roots, yet beneath the coal-seam, so large a quantity of the Lepidostrobus variabilis was discovered inclosed in nodules of hard clay, that more than a bushel was collected from the small openings around the base of some of the trees (see Figure 457 of this genus). This is by no means the only instance in which a buried world shows itself under the great lunar plains. The sapwood is the external and youngest portion of the tree, and often constitutes a very considerable proportion of it.
