Note. — List No. II. includes the trees named in Walker's book (27), 

 re-arranged in alphabetical order. The fuller information now 

 available has, in some entries, led to his dates being superseded 

 by earlier ones. His names, both English and scientific (when 

 he gave such), are retained, and no other scientific names have 

 been inserted in the list. The other trees are from the 

 authorities named below. 



Many of the dates should be qualified by the word "about," and 

 this must be taken as understood. 



For authority for the Rosehaugh items, see page 20, ante.

Further material is in hand for publication, and any informa- 

 tion or particulars will be gladly received by the writer at
