 nearly allied. As this and the preceding paper will appear at length

4. Mr. James M'Nab read the first part of a journal kept by him 

 while on a tour through the United States and the Canadas, during 

 which his attention was chiefly directed to the botany and horticul- 

 ture of these countries. 



Mr. Trevelyan laid before the meeting cones of Pinus sylvestris, 

 exhibiting on the one side the character of P. sylvestris, and on the 

 other that of P. Mughus. He stated that the cones were taken from 

 a tree near Taunton in May 1 843, differing in no other respect from 

 the ordinary state of P. sylvestris, and the phsenomenon now pre- 

 sented by them appears to substantiate the views of those botanists 

 who believe the two species to be identical.
