OF TREES WHICH CONCEAL THESE SPACES IN ONE ANOTHER.

That part of a tree will show the fewest spaces, behind which a

large number of trees are standing between the tree and the air

[sky]; thus in the tree _a_ the spaces are not concealed nor in _b_,

as there is no tree behind. But in _c_ only half shows the spaces

filled up by the tree _d_, and part of the tree _d_ is filled up by

the tree _e_ and a little farther on all the spaces in the mass of

the trees are lost, and only that at the side remains.
