v. v. The Jersey Pine, Pitch or Scrub Pine, is of 
middle size, straggling growth, and full of resin. Its 
~~. branches are tougher than any other je I know, and 
E € might be used for several useful purposes if its wood 
© | wasnotso apt toan early decay. A. B. Lambert, Esq. 
in his magnificent Monograph on ‘this interesting 
and useful genus, made similar observations, which 
the younger Mic in his Arbres forestiers, p. 60. has 
: taken up as a K of criticism. On this subject 
r. Lambert favoured me with his observations re- 
meeting this and some other remarks made by Mr. 
Michaux, which [ think proper here to insert ; it is 
in the following words: ** The criticisms made by 
Mr. Michaux on my * Description of the genus Pinus' 
. are so inaccurate, that I did not think them worth my 
notice before, nor should I now, were it mot’ to pre- 
vent Mr. Pursh from being misled by them, igh I 
- believe he is already well aware of their fallacy r 
therefore beg of him to insert a few. observations
