Ahies Douglasii. The half-season proportions, 38 and 62 

 p.c. for No. 99, the only one of the three not interfered 

 with by transplantation, differs very greatly from those of Nos. 

 6 and 66, which are nearly alike, and average 54'5 and 45*5. 

 I cannot account for this, as transplantation does not seem 

 to have affected Nos. 6 and 66 in such a way as to explain it. 

 In the monthly proportions there was also a great contrast, 

 May having the largest, with 28 and 25"5 p.c. in No, 6 and 

 66 ; and August, with 26 p.c, in No. 99. There is a remark-
