Note. — There are doubtless many other, and probably as fine, specimens of this interesting 

 conifer in localities in Britain from which it has not been possible to collect information ; but 

 these sixty-three trees, accurately measured as they have been, will illustrate with sufficient cor- 

 rectness for the present, the geographical distribution of the best specin)ens Ave have been able to 

 find in Britain, after careful mquiry and much trouble ; and we would tender our best thanks to 

 those correspondents who have so kindly complied with the request for the accurate data we hare 

 thus tabulated and given in this Appendix.
