These will be marked "2" in addition to the number of the stick from which they are cut.
_Hardness_: One specimen from each of the other 50 per cent of the static bending sticks.

These specimens will be marked "4." _Shear_: Six specimens from sticks not tested in bending or from the ends cut off in preparing the bending specimens.

Two specimens will be taken from near the pith; two from near the periphery; and two that are representative of the average growth.

One of each two will be tested in radial shear and the other in tangential shear.

These specimens will have the mark "3." _Cleavage_: Six specimens chosen and divided just as those for shearing.
