CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONS. 



Page 9. Quercus pubescens. According to Dr. Alex- 

 ander Prior, this is not a variety of Q. robur, but a dis- 

 tinct species. 



Page 10. I have omitted in ray list of oaks Quercus 

 Occident alls of Gay. 



Page 13. Ilex aquifolium is now removed from the 

 Rhamnece, and placed by A. Brongriart in a family of 

 its own. 



Page 28. A similar tendency to put forth fresh branches 

 when cut down, is noticed in the " Gardener's Chronicle" 

 for August 17, 1861, by Dr. Seemann, as existing in a 

 species of Fir which was found composing a forest in 

 Arcadia, one league and a-half from Tripolitza, called by 

 Heldreich Abies Regina Amalice. It is pronounced by 

 Murray a to be the same species as Abies Apollinis of 

 Link, which latter was omitted in my work, as having 

 been identified by Endlicher with P. pectinata, although 

 Goudon regards it the same as cephalonica. 



Page 34. The anecdote related with regard to the first 

 introduction of the Cedar of Lebanon into France, was 

 extracted, without enquiry on my part, from an article 

 " On Coniferous Trees," which appeared in the No. of 

 the "Edinburgh Review" for October, 1864. 



It turns out, however, to be a tissue of errors, occa- 

 sioned by blending into one, two stories utterly un- 

 connected, as I might have learnt before printing my 

 Essay, had the remarks of Dr. Asa Gray, inserted iu 

 " Silliman's Journal" for March, 1864, fallen in my way 

 when they first appeared. 



It is indeed true, that the first seedling of. the Cedar 

 of Lebanon which ever reached France, was brought 

 there by Bernard de Jussieu in his hat, just as is repre- 



Hort. Soc. Proc., 1863.
