beauty, sent us by John Thomas Brook,

 and Q. /jTaliphlce v os Bosc Mem. sur 

 les Ckenes. Fig. 1556. shows portraits 

 of three leaves, taken from a specimen 

 of Q. ferris vulgaris gathered in the 

 arboretum at Milford in 1835, and 

 there erroneously named Q. lusitanica. 

 We have observed a similar diversity of appearance in the leaves 



of an old tree of Q. t'erris in the grounds at 



Buckingham Palace.

 dulous. The handsomest tree of this variety in Britain is proba-

 like those of SopKbra japonica
