edge of the Dairy Grove (those which bore fruit 
in 1864), are now almost entirely leafless; the 
larger one in ‘“‘Sorcerer’s” paddock, standing ina 
more sheltered situation, has hardly begun to 
change colour. They are now, in the middle of 
October, changing fast, and those on some of the 
twigs have entirely turned to a splendid crimson. 
(October 31.) The tree'in “‘ Sorcerer's) pee 
dock has now a most beautiful appearance ; 
the whole mass of its foliage gloriously coloured 
with the most varied tints of red, orange, and 
yellow, through every shade, from deep scarlet 
to amber. 
(November, 1871). This same tree, much the 
largest which we have here of this species, shows 
a great deal of fine colouring every autumn, 
even in seasons which are not generally favourable 
to the development of such tints. 
(Qctober, 1879). . The: tree im) “ Soreeremaus 
paddock, above mentioned, is now in great beauty, 
which I should not have expected after a summer 
so peculiarly cold and wet; the foliage has even 
now (October 31), only partially changed colour, 
and shows broad patches of brilliant scarlet in the 
midst of the prevailing deep green.
