Thuja gigantea, T. Verveana, Thujopsis dolabrata, Tritoma uvaria, 

 Weigela rosea, Wistaria sinensis, Yucca flaccida. 



Observations — Ampelopsis Veitchii, at Boynton, on E. wall, fre- 

 quently injured ; on W. wall, a few yards distant, uninjured. Aralia 

 (Dimorphanthus) mandshuricus seems perfectly hardy. Araucaria 

 imbricata, generally uninjured, 1879-80 and 1880-81 ; it is usually 

 injured on a dry soil and situation. Cupressus Lambertiana and C. 

 macrocarpa are often injured by a hard winter. Escallonia macrantha is 

 perfectly hardy near the E. coast, but quite tender, inland. Koelreuteria 

 paniculata is generally injured, but never killed at Hildenley. Larches 

 have been injured and killed very extensively in the neighbourhood of 

 Pickering, chiefly, I believe, by winter 1879-80. Osmanthus ilicifolius 

 is hardy near the sea but not so inland. Pinus Laricio is generally 

 unhurt ; but two or three at Boynton are killed or nearly so. Lom- 

 bardy poplars were, I believe, unhurt by the winter of 1879-80, but 

 90 p. c. all over the country were killed, 1880-81. Quercus Ilex, 

 is perfectly hardy by the sea, but not so inland. Oaks, great num- 

 bers were killed or nearly so, 1879-80 ; but were uninjured, 1880-81. 

 Those not quite killed, 1879-80, are now recovering. Retinosporas 

 (see above) were unhurt at Boynton, but do not grow healthily there. 

 Yews, many killed or severely injured, 1879-80, both at Boynton 

 and Hildenley ; but were quite uninjured, 1880-81.
