gravel, for the purpose of 

 water which falls on the sur- 

 face of the beds. In order 

 to carry ofiP the water from 

 the main road, and also from 

 tihe walk on the terrace, 

 small branch drains are to 

 be formed, as indicated in 

 the blue dotted lines in the 

 plan. 



Trees are shown planted 

 along the walks at regular 

 distances. Those along the 

 central road are supposed 

 to be chiefly Taurian pines 

 (Pinus taurica), because 

 that species has a dark and 

 solemn air readily clothes 

 itself with ' branches from 

 the ground upwards, ami 

 its branches admit of "cut- 

 ting in " to any extent, so 

 as to form the tree into as 

 narrow a cone as may be 

 desirable. Add to these 

 advantages, that this is one 

 of the most rapid-growing 

 of pines. The trees marked 

 s s, &.C., are supposed to 

 be cedars of Lebanon ; and 

 the four marked t t, &c., 

 deodar cedars. The trees 

 V V, &c., bordering the 

 terrace walk, are proposed 

 to be Irish yews. The 

 trees round the reserve 

 ground, e and f, are to be 

 either Taurian or black Aus- 

 trian pines (P. austrlaca) ; 

 the latter a tree that has 

 most of the properties of 

 the Taurian pine, with the 

 advantage of being some- 

 what cheaper to purchase. 



At any future period, 

 should there be a demand 

 for catacombs, a range of 

 these can be substituted for 

 the curvilinear walk at the 

 eastern extremity, by re- 

 moving the holly hedge, and 

 by forming a handsome 

 arcade there, with vaults 

 beliind and underneath, as 

 in the Munich and Kensal 

 Green Cemeteries.
