branchlets nodding as in that species. Indians are said to use the berries as food. Travellers 
call this and the following species Sweet-berried Cedar. The seeds are as large as a small pea, 
and the shell is very thick and hard. The branchlets are about a line and a half in diameter. 
Leaves nearly as broad as long, very closely appressed, (there are no acicular ones in any of our 
specimens), obtuse, or sometimes rather acute, convex and marked with a depressed gland. | 
ERUS PACHYPHLHA (n. sp.): arborea; foliis omnibus squamiformibus ovatis incrassato- 
gibbis acutiusculis, dorso glandula elliptica impressa; ramulis obtuse quadrangulatis, fructiferis 
erectis galbulos globosos minute tuberculatos trispermos brevioribus. Juniperus No. 1, 
in Sitgreaves’ Report, p. 173. On the Zufii Mountains, Western New Mexico. This is the 
thick-barked Juniperus of Captain Sitgreaves. It seems to be undescribed, and is distinguished 
from the preceding species by the character of the bark, and by the berries (which are also very 
large and sweet) being 3-seeded. From the gland of each leaf a little drop of turpentine exudes. 
It is possible this may be J. Mexicana, Schlecht., which has berries half an inch in diameter ; 
but in that species the leaves are acuminate, and the berries conspicuously tuberculate, espe- 
cially at the apex. 
JUNIPERUS OCCIDENTALIS, Hook. Fl, Bor.—Amer. 2, p. 166. J. Andina, Nutt. Sylv. 3, p. 95, t. 
110. Common on the mountains of New Mexico, in various places along the route as far as the 
Zuiii mountains. The glands are very obscure in the young leaves, but are plainly to be seen 
in the older ones. The berries are larger and the branchlets much stouter than in J. Virginiana.
