 ing, a tree of large size, and its nuts are eaten by men 

 and several species of animals. 1 he wood is put to 

 various mechanical and oeconomical uses ; for which

 trees, but particularly to the works of the younger 

 Micliaux.

 puder '.he name of Butter Nut, Oil Nut, and IVhite 

 Walnut. The younger Michaux has altered the 

 adopted name, and substituted one indicating the me- 

 dicinal use made of it, which certainly would be ^ 

 very good name if the old one had not been so long 

 established.
