     1. Soon read by the settlers of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries as indicators 
     
     of good land, or at least of more easily cleared land, for the hardwood stumps 
     
     rotted much faster than those of pine, spruce or fir. 
     
    
   
   
    
     2. Woodland now covers large areas of the island although it is usually fenced in on 
     
    
   
   
    
     individual farms.

     Figure 4. Clark’s Figure 11, derived from Stilgenbauer (1929), showing the distribution of 
     
     Stilgenbauer’s forest 'belts’, presented by Clark as prevsettlement forest-types. ‘ 
     
     1 . The one difference between the two maps appears to be due to a cartographic error in the copying of the 
     
    
   
   
    
     Stilgenbauer map. The cartographer has shifted the western boundary of the ’Central Larch Association’ 
     
     about 12 kilometres to the west — in his eye-shift from one map to the other, instead of running the line 
     
     to Rustico Bay, he ran it to the similarly shaped New London Bay to the west.
