currence. Whether 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 narne he has 

 added to my own, which certainly does not belong 

 to it." The observation which Mr. Lambert makes 

 in this place is, " Michaux's observations relative to 

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

 to be mere matter of opinion, as well as mine, without 

 experience."

In Canada and the western parts of New York. Tp . v. v. 

 This tree, called by Aiton Pitch Pine, is generally 

 known in its native country by the name of Norway 

 Pine ; sometimes, particularly among the Canadian 

 French, Red Pine. It grows in close forests, is very 

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

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

 masts, though its size and shape are apparently very 

 recommendable 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 still thinks, from some planks he 

 has seen, it is without foundation."

 Tj . April, May. v. v. The Scrub Pine, or, as Mi- 

 chaux calls it, the Gray Pine, is a small straggling 

 tree, which in some instances, when growing among 

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

 high, though it will grow to a considerable size when, 

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

 Lambert observes in his note, " that the trees of this
