We are glad to see that the Shanghai and Cochin China fowls are 

 classed together in the above awards. They are undoubtedly the 

 same. 



Before we close this notice, we will give the weight of a few of 

 the heaviest fowls on the ground, in order that the general reader 

 may have a correct knowledge of this important quality in the im- 

 proved fowls. Harman Osier, of this borough, had a pair of White 

 Shanghais — cock and ben — which weighed 20 pounds, the hen weigh- 

 ing 9 pounds, and was the heaviest on the ground. J. S. Lippincott 

 had a pair of yellow Shanghais which weighed 191 pounds, the 

 cock weighing Hi pounds, which was the heaviest exhibited. Robert 

 Purvis had a pair weighing 18 pounds; William Leonard 18|, and 

 Dr. M'Clintock 18*. There were also several others approaching 

 very closely this weight. 



From the success of the first attempt of this Society, formed only 

 two months ago, we anticipate the exhibition of next year, if held 

 in the Museum Building, as it probably will be, to far transcend even 

 that of the present year, though unexpectedly large in numbers and 

 variety and excellent in quality. Germ. Tel. 



To Correspondents. — J. McD , Pensacola. Your pitcher plant is 

 the Sarracenia Drummondii, a very handsome species. We wrote to 

 you a few days ago. We would be glad to excha-nge seeds with you. 

 Nemesis.- We are fully aware of the causes of complaint, but we 

 don't wish to acknowledge the existence of the paper you mention-. 

 The catalogue you mention is the most accurate one in this country, 

 except, perhaps, some which were printed at the oifice of the Florist, 

 but we donT mean to say that these were better.-'
