48 Mr. J. Hogg and Sig. Tenore on the comparative Influence 



of these observations, we have March 16. (White at Selborne) 

 and March 8. (Markwick at Catsfield), for the frondescence 

 of the Elder. April 3. (W.) and April 25. (M.) for that of 

 the Elm. April 23. (W.) and May 9. (M.) for that of the 

 Beech, and June 4. (W.) and May 31. (M.) for that of the 

 Mulberry. 



Again, we find from the table of the " Indications of 

 Spring," published in vol. ii. p. 128, of Loudon's Magazine 

 of Natural History, which contains the result of more than 

 60 years' (from 1735 to 1 800) observation by Mr. Marshham, 

 and Lord Suffield, at Stratton Strawless in Norfolk, that the 

 leafing of some of the before-named trees took place there 

 according to the following dates. 



Hence we may say, from the data before stated, that at 

 Upsal the Elder unfolds its leaves about one week, the Elm 

 one month, sooner; but the Beech from three days to a week, 

 the Oak seven or ten days, the Lime two to three weeks, and 

 the Birch nearly five weeks later than the same usually do in 

 England. That at Naples, the Elm is earlier by about ten 

 weeks, the Elder nine weeks, the Beech seven weeks, the Lime 

 four weeks, the Oak three weeks, and the Birch two weeks, 

 than in England. And that at Paris, the Elder, the Elm, the 

 Chestnut, and the Mulberry are from two to four weeks sooner, 

 but the Birch and Oak are some days later than in England. 



However, the different times of leafing of these trees will 

 be more clearly understood from the annexed comparative 

 Table.
