cnrrence. Wherhcr Mr. Michaux has been successful 

 in changing the specific names of the pines, I 

 shall leave to future botanists to decide : but I must, 

 correct him in respect to the specific name he has 

 added to my own, which certainly does not belong 

 to it." The observation which Mr. Lambert makes 

 in this place i«, " Michaux's observations relative to 

 the blanches of P. inops being not fit for hoops appear 

 to be mere mailer of opinion, as well as mine^ without 

 expeiience."

In Canada and the western parts of New York. T; . v. v. 

 Ihis tree, called by Aiton Pilch Pine, is generally 

 known in its native country by the name of Norwrty 

 Pine; sometimes, paiticularly among the Canadian 

 ' French, Rtd Pine. It grows in close forests, is very 



tall, and its bark is remarkably smooth and red; the 

 timber is veiy heavy, for which reason it is rejected for 

 masts, though its size and shape are apparently very 

 recom.mendable for that purpose. Mr. Lambert in his 

 note, quoted above, observes, " In confirmation of 

 what I have said relative to the timber of P. resinosa, 

 Mr. Michaux mentions the exportation of it being 

 much diminished, as it has been found to contain too 

 much sap ; but he stiil thinks, from some planks he 

 has seen, it is without foundation."

 the barren rocks, does not rise above five or eight feet

 by accident or culture, it is brought on good soil. Mr.
