In the * Ramble ”—Fourth Excursion 
having one of the most distinctive types of leaf, of leath- 
ery texture, dark green and lustrous above, whitish be- 
neath, and with a deeply serrate-crenate edge—a leaf 
that would attract notice, looking more like a Quercus 
than a /Ayrus. Its outline is on Plate IV. of foreign 
trees. 
The other discovery was a Japanese tree (/desia foly- 
carpa), whose leaf misled a gardener into calling it a 
mulberry, but when I called his attention to the abun- 
dant clusters of small yellowish flowers, it was conclusive 
evidence. ‘This will be found overhanging one of the 
walks near the Conservatory. 
Besides the four routes of our excursions one can take 
many other walks that are favorable for botanical ob- 
servation. Of these I would especially recommend the 
paths along the ‘‘ West Drive,’’ from Fifty-ninth to 
Seventy-second Street, the vicinity of the East Seventy- 
second Street entrance, the circuit of the so-called 
‘<Pool’’ on the west side, at about tozd Street—one 
of the most delightful spots in the Park—the paths in 
the vicinity of the Conservatory at East 1o6th Street, 
and the circuit of ‘‘Harlem Mere,’’ at the extreme 
northeastern corner of the Park.
