 Tweed, vol. ii. p. 108. and 109.) 



Oak Galls, 8fc. — This spring, several oaks in this parish have produced 

 long strings of berries, similar in a great degree, particularly in colour, to 

 those of the pale red currant, called the Champagne currant. I had never 

 observed these berries before; but lam told that they have been seen, though 

 they are not of frequent occurrence. The taste of these berry-like excres- 

 cences was insipid and clammy. — R. L. Surrey, July, 1836. 



Vlniis 'Pinaster as Timber. — Do you know any thing of the pinaster as 

 timber ? I have till lately been taught to believe that it was one of the most 

 worthless of woods ; but a friend tells me that it produces very hard good 

 timber. — W. T. B. Allesley, Dec. 19. 1835.
