197NULLDate noteNotes on  a sample.
207NULLProvenance commentComments on the provenance of a sample
211NULLNon-measured tree ringsEstimated number of non-measured tree rings outside the outermost measured tree ring.
221NULLNon-measured sapwood ringsEstimated number of non-measured sapwood rings outside the outermost measured tree ring1
