 in my table.

 seemed to admire very much amongst other things my Portland series 

 of A. australis. My acquaintance with this species is not large, but I 

 have always thought that the Portland specimens were very handsome, 

 and presented a great contrast to several I received from Surrey, 

 amongst which there was but little variation, and which looked rather
