[All the above names, with only one or two exceptions among the Cupressinte, 

 will be found in our Arboretum Britannicum, either as species, varieties, or syno- 

 nymes. The species and varieties are accompanied by characters and descrip- 

 tions, and those indicated in Mr. Barron's list are illustrated with engraved 

 botanical specimens ; or with portraits of trees within ten miles of London, 

 or at Dropmore, as plates occupying tiie size of a page. The No. of the 

 fio-ure in the Arboretum Brifaiuiictim is in many cases not given in the above 

 list ; because, at the time we sent this paper to the printer (Jan. 2.), the proof 

 sheets of that part of the Arboretum were not yet imposed. — Cond.] 



Elvaston Castle, Dec. 16. 1837. 



[Perhaps it may not be improper to state that Elvaston 

 Castle is not a show place : the pleasure-grounds are never 

 allowed to be seen, except by visiters staying at the castle , or 

 by the personal acquaintances of the Earl and Countess of 

 Harrington. The gardens and pleasure-grounds being in a 

 state of infancy, it is considered unsuitable to throw them open 

 to the public ; but, after the trees and shrubs have had the ad- 

 vantao-e of a few years' growth, there can be little doubt that 

 the noble proprietor will not suffer Elvaston Castle to form an 

 exception to the liberality usually displayed by the nobility and 

 gentry of England. — Cond.']
