A pp. V. Himalayan Oaks not yd intruduced. 



It is observed by Dr. Poyle, that the Himalayan oaks vary much in appearance, and that, in all 

 probability, the number of kinds at present enumerated as species will hereafter undergo "some 

 reduction." It has also been suggested to us by Profe.'-sor Don, that several of the Nepal and Japan 

 oaks described by authors under different names are probably the same.
