$8 FOREStRV IN SPAIK. 



cryptogams, 120; mosses, 1200; liverworts, 550; lichens, 

 900 ; algae, 2260 ; a collection of transverse sections for 

 the anatomical study of wood of different trees, presented 

 by Professor Nordlinger, consisting of 500 species belonging 

 to different regions of the globe ; a microscope by Ober- 

 hauser, with tw.o lenses. j; 



The collection I fojmd considerably enlarged beyond 

 what it was at the time Signor Castel prepared this 

 account of it ; but I did not enquire to what extent the 

 specimens preserved in it had been increased in number. 



Besides this museum, there are within reach, and of easy 

 access, the trees growing in the botanic garden in Madrid, 

 and those growing in the gardens attached to the institu- 

 tion at the Escurial. 



In 1877, the latest year in regard to which I have at 

 command any reports, there were growing in the gardens 

 attached to the school specimens of the following trees :
