In what follows, I first discuss the rise of timber volumetrics, the practice of measuring timber volumes, in modern scientific forestry, and examine a particular volumetric formula, the Doyle Formula, which eventually would come to embroil itself in the economic and political life of Loreto’s tropical logging industry during the twentieth century.	cache/ca-5456.htm	txt/ca-5456.txt
