 exported from Lima. Among more than twenty species enumerated by Lindley, C. micrantha fur- 

 nishes "silver, grey, or Huanuco bark;" C. lanceolata, most of the "yellow bark," a portion being 

 contributed by C. hirsuta and C. nitida , C. magnifolia furnishes "cinchona nova;" C. purpurea, 

 " Huamalies bark ; " and there are various exported kinds whose origin has not been traced. 



Cinchona Condaminea of the Western slope of the Peruvian Andes. Probably the kind employed 

 in the case of the Jesuit : — presumed by Lindley to be the " cascarilla chauharguera " said by Ruiz 

 to be that sent to the conde de Chincon : termed "quinaquina" in a description sent by Condamine, 

 and published in act. par. 1738 : C. Condaminea according to Humboldt and Bonpland i. pi. 10 grows 

 near Loxa, also near Guancabamba and Ayavaca in Peru, always on micaceous schist, and at the ele- 

 vation of ".5700 to 7500 feet." Its imported bark is called in commerce '■'pale crown or Loxa bark" 

 (Lindl.).

 " winter of the 29th year wen-li " (topog. Cant., and Pauth. p. 474), first arrival of the English in 

 China ; at Macao, in two or three large ships. They wore red garments, were tall, with red hair and
