Observations — Cedrus Deodara, trees, from 25 ft. to 30 ft. high, 

 were killed to the ground. The very few which survived were de- 

 nuded of all foliage and resembled deciduous trees. Hollies, about 40 

 different varieties, strong growing sorts, were pretty well stripped of 

 all their leaves while the young growths were cut back ; Hodginsii, 

 golden varieties, and Maderensis, suffered most. Some common 

 Hollies were killed, 6 to 10 ft. high, on high and exposed places. 

 Y'ews, a great many hedges presented a pitiful sight, all being scorched 

 more or less; the sides facing S.E. being very much injured.
