BARDWICKE'S SCIENCE-GOSSJP. 



T. R. J.— The green variety of /^/»<or-j/rtr is seldom if ever 

 found in Derbyshire. It is met with in fine, large cubic 

 crybtnls (truncated) in and about Alston INIoor, Cumberland. 

 The miners there generally have a collection of it. 



K. D. — Climbing plants do not nece:,sarily all turn the same 

 way — so as " to face the sun." Lapageria is not an exceptional 

 instance of plants " turning the same way as the sun," although 

 most climbing plants are right-handed, such as fcarlet runners 

 and convolvuluses ; others, like the hop, are left-handed.

 state of those you sent.
