Observations — The protection of trees from ground radiation, if 

 such it is, has been very conspicuous with several species. Picea 

 Pindrow, while killed a foot from the ground, was quite uninjured 

 below that mark. Deodars were scarcely in any case injured below 

 one foot, and, in some cases, eighteen inches; above that height 

 they were killed or greatly disfigured; about one-half will be of 

 further service. Laurustinus showed a similar appearance. With 

 the exception of Laurels and Chamaarops, the leaves of the latter 

 being all killed, all those numbered 2 were killed to the ground, but 

 have since grown well. "With regard to the Ephedra, the younger 

 branches were disarticulated in showers, no injury being received 

 further back. This disarticulation is not due to exceptionally severe 

 frost, but it is a throwing off, no doubt, of the unripe younger growths.
