^ Two huge I'oplar trees at Mauldslie, Lanarkshire, have recently l)een 

 determined by Dr A. Henry, Cambridge, and Mr John Renvvick, Glasgow, to 

 be Poputus canescens, the Grey Poplar. The date of planting is unknown and 

 may not go back to the year 1770, but an entry here seems justified, if only 

 in relation to the other kinds of Poplars named in above. The Mauldslie 

 trees measure respectively — 



No. I. No. II. 



Girth at 2 ft. 9 ins. = 16 ft. 5} ins. I Girth at 2 ft. =21 ft. 3 ins. 

 Height, 119 ft. I Height, 100 ft. 



Dr Henry says that these are the largest Grey Poplars known in the 

 United Kingdom, and that none bigger is recorded on the Continent.

 Grey Poplars (Poputus cauescens, Lin.) at Mauldslie Castle" {Tlie Glasgow 

 Naluratist, Sept. 1911, vol. iii., pp. 119, 120).— H. B. W., 25th Nov. 1911.
