with those observed in subsequent years; but the peculiarity of 

 seasons, their greater dryness and moisture, later accession of the 

 rainy seasons, or the total absence of a snow storm in some years, 

 will of course, here, as elsewhere, modify the temperature of par- 

 ticular months.

Having obtained a general idea of the nature of the climate in 

 the Himalaya Mountains at an elevation of 6,700 feet, the next 

 point to ascertain is, the vegetation naturally found in conjunction 

 with it. The arboreous and shrubby vegetation being that which is 

 alone subjected to the vicissitudes of all the seasons, is the most 

 interesting in the point in which we wish at present to view it ; the 

 probability of the varied productions of these mountains being 

 suited to the open air of gardens in England. 



Among the large trees may be mentioned species of oak, elm, 

 maple, hornbeam, the common walnut, and the magnificent rhodo-
