TEAXSACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS OF 



[Sess. 



Although belonging to the former set, these Hungary 

 Oaks are taken for comparison with the other species. 

 They are young, and are by far the quickest growers of 

 the Deciduous trees of their set, their annual rate for from 

 twelve to fourteen years having been 1"53, 1"68, and 1'53 

 respectively. 



On the whole, the three agree remarkably well with each 

 other, and with the chief characteristics of the other oaks. 

 The first half-season predominates with 61 p.c. July is the 

 best mouth in all three, with the large annual averages in 

 amount of 0'52, 0'61,- and 0'55, and in p.c. of 34 to 35 '5. 

 Remarkable points in this species are the high proportion, 

 9 p.c, of the April increase, and its almost equality with 

 that of May, 9"5 p.c. 



TiLIA EUR0P.EA. 



The second half-season increase in the two young trees 

 was double that of the first, Init it was almost precisely 

 the reverse with the older No. 18. All three were remark- 

 aljle for the large proportion of increase in their best month, 

 53, 54, and 55 respectively, but wliilo June was the favoured 

 month with Xos. 60 and 85, it was July with the older No. 

 18, a liealthy but slow-growing tree.
