ARBORETUM NOTES 129 
CONIFER. 
some years past, but these are so quickly and 
ereedily devoured by squirrels (almost before they 
are ripe), that I have not been able to obtain one 
good specimen. Their general shape and the form 
of the scales, agree with the figure in Lambert’s 
Pinus. 
Within the last few years, we have planted 
several young trees of this species in various 
places about the grounds here, and they are doing 
very well; the most flourishing is one on the 
northern edge of the Vicarage Grove. 
(1879). The young tree, just mentioned, and 
another (of about the same age), which we 
planted as a memorial of dear Sarah Hervey,f are 
flourishing, the rest have disappeared. 
On the Alps, this kind of Pine is loca 1 and 
rather rare, though scattered in various places 
along the range from the mountains of Dauphiné 
and Provence* to those of Austria. Some old trees 
well known to tourists, grow on the Wengern Alps, 
between Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald, just 
below the summit of the pass as one begins to 
descend towards Grindelwald. I saw them in 
1829, and again in 1848. They do not form a 
wood, but grow irregularly scattered over the side 
of the mountain, unmixed with any other tree, the 
forests of Spruce Fir ceasing at some distance
