Art. XV. Description of a new Tally for naming Plants, 

 with a Note on grafting the Camellia. By Mr. Stewart 

 Murray, C.M.H.S. 



Sir, 

 I send you herewith a new tally pin (Jig. 16.), which in 

 my opinion will obviate many of the inconveniencies attendant 

 upon such as I have hitherto seen used in Botanic Gardens. 

 It consists of a cast-metal standard with a long square head, 

 in the front of which is a hollow box, into which the ticket 

 with the name written thereon (a) is put; then a pane of glass 

 is cut to the size (b), and fitted in over the name with putty 

 like the pane of a window. The ticket on which the name or 

 number is written may be of wood, tin, or stone ware. I 

 prefer the wood, as easily written upon by a carpenter's 

 black lead pencil, and also because it is not liable to rust.
