518 TE.A.NS ACTIONS AND TROCEEDINGS OF THE [Sess. lvii. 



It is remarkable that in Mr. Hutchison's list there are 

 no cedars between 15 and 17 feet, so that the next 

 largest to the five in my selection is at least 2 feet less 

 than the least of them. He has missed, however, a very- 

 fine healthy tree at Arniston, Midlothian, which in 1893 

 I found to be 16 ft, 8 in. in girth at 5 feet, about the 

 narrowest part of a symmetrical ten-foot stem. 



The finest cedar in England in Loudoun's time was at 

 Syon. He gives the height as 92 feet, the girth at 3 feet 

 up as 24 feet, and the diameter of the branch spread as 

 117 feet. The tallest, 108 feet, appears to be at Strath- 

 fieldsaye, but its girth is only 9 feet.

Great cedar formerly at Hopetoun, West Lothian, 23
