Inverness, February 15, 1900

Tan-Bark Oak - Common enough here but no large trees noted. Bark smooth, even, mottled white on light gray. The fissuring on the older trunks is very striking. It is not regular around the trunk but as if one had taken a knife and made a [single] or occasional long gash straight down a bark-boung trunk and the gaping fissure soon opened with the growth of the tree trunk:
I notice similar gashes on trunks of small trees of Quercus agrifolia - Sometimes just one single gash, several feet long.
