APPENDIX. 



and I received in London three cases of vines from 

 Malaga, and one case from Xeres de la Frontera; but 

 these arrived at too late a period to be sent to the Colony 

 in close cases, and it therefore became necessary to establish 

 them in open boxes. Mr. Cunningham undertook this 

 labour also, and a portion of each variety of the Spanish 

 vines are now also on their way to the Colony with the 

 others on board the Camden. 



Of the following catalogue of vines, amounting to 75 

 varieties, o2 were actually collected from the vineyards I 

 myself visited in the various provinces of France through 

 which my route lay. Of each of these I procured from 

 10 to 20 cuttings, and I am happy to say that not one of 

 the varieties is lost. Of the five varieties procured in the 

 more northern climates of Burgundy and Champagne, 

 as well as of the 15 varieties procured at Paris, many of 

 the cuttings are dead, and one of the latter varieties is 

 entirely lost. But of the 47 varieties procured from the 

 warmer climates of the south, not 10 cuttings out of from 

 500 to 600, have failed. The rest, with few exceptions, 

 are at this date (22nd Januar}-, 1833) in the highest state 

 of health and vigour ; and it is but justice to Mr. M'Lean, 

 of the Botanic Garden, under whose care they have 

 remained since their arrival, to acknowledge the zeal and 

 attention with which he has acquitted himself of the 

 charge.
