 pseudo-eoccifera, aquatica, serrata, japonica, tauzin, quexigo, 

 phellos, nigra, and asgilops have all wintered well without pro- 

 tection, as has also Q. glabra, which is 6 feet in height, and the 

 same in diameter. 



Fagus Cunninghamii is uninjured, but it was slightly protected. 

 F. antarctica, ferruginea, and asplenifolia. interesting trees on 

 account of the singularity of their foliage, have proved quite 

 hardy. 



Garrya elliptica and macrophylla are uninjured ; and so are 

 Taxus adpressa, bariensis, Harringtonii, elegantissima, and vari- 

 egata ; as is also Phyllocladus trichomanoides, but the latter 

 was slightly protected. Podocarpus purdieana and latifolia have 

 been killed ; while P. longifolia and Totara are uninjured. 

 Dacrydium Mai, although protected, has had its young shoots
