diam., 85 ft. h. On this tree is a large axe scar, exposing the wood. In the wood is carved: F. Olvertri, 1799. I. Bird, 1837. The latter, says Mr. Buswell, was a missionary in Syria about that time. The first name is much more more deeply carved, 1/4 inch, but in part is not easily decipherable, having apparently been mutilated with an axe a very long time ago.
