 montories of the Pacific Coast from Mendocino northwards to Alaska. Tt 

 may be adfled to the list of trees and shrubs moi'e or less useful for covering 

 sand-dunes and preventing land slips, and is listed here Avith that view. 



(6.) P. Coulterl, Don. " Coulter's Pine."' 



A large tree, remarkable for its very large cones. It does fairly well in the 

 Sydney district (better at Campbelltown), and in many cooler parts of New 

 South Wales, but in our experience it is not dense-foliaged and hence not 

 very popular. At the same time further experiments should be made with it. 



(7.) P. densiflora, Siel). and Zucc. " Akamatsu Pine." See Sieb? and 

 Zucc, Flora Japonica, ii, 22, t. 112. Japan. 



This .Japanese Pine has never done well in the Sydney Botanic Gardens. 

 It requires colder localities and is worthy of extended trial.
