in the manner of other ee there would be a contradiction 
to my statement in this Journal (p. 7), “ C. —— is the 
only Cinchona that suffers bch sterility, a only ripens more 
fruits, if it gets fertilized and oo hate ie other Ciichowse ; that 
happens often...;’ for it is well known that C. Ledgeriana, if 
not isolated from other Chnekacing, ripens amy but degenerated, 
seeds. If Mr. cee generally writes, C. Ledgeriana comes per- 
fectly true from seed, I find it contrary to my own numerous 
observations, to ‘the t testimonies of nearly all other planters, some

since Mr. Gammie uprooted nearly all the neighbouring trees, 
now come remarkably true, whereas before that was done the 
sporting was so great that Dr. King would not propagate by seed 
at all.” This eaneee true” is not perfectly true, which would

I never sctetsa that C . Ledgeriana was absolutely sterile; and 
if it gets few seeds by self. fertilisation, some of them may give 
true descendants. But the fertility, even if existing, cannot be an

and all other spontaneous hybrids of Cinchona are extremely 
fertile. In regard to the fertility of C. Led, yeriana, Dr. Trimen 
confounds the facts of rich cross-fertilisation and poor self- 
fertilisation ; his own plate of C. Ledgeriana shows partly abortive 
ruits, an confirms my observations and communications on the 
sterility of that plant.

By H. Boswetu. 
At the latter end of July I paid a visit to Breconshire, in 
company with the Rev. Augustin Le ey, hoping that we might haply 
find further traces of the Brywn gemmiparum of which mention was 
lately made in e Journal, and possibly come upon it in some 
By. 
or can it be ~ that on the whole the region surrounding the 
Brecon Beacons is a very muscose one: many species that might 
be expected are Bist Has by their absence, especially Orthotricha 
and Sepia whilst on the moors scarcely a trace of Sphagnum was 
seen in m 
any miles 
The only thing of much interest, after the Brywm, was found on 
the last day of the ramble, on the bank of the Wye; this was a 
Campylopus which at first sight rather reminded me of C. fragilis, 
but with a different aspect from any form of that rather variable
