and it is possible that this may be a very dwarf and hardy 

 sort, referable to this species ; but it has been suggested that 

 the Mais dpoulet maybe the plant described by Molina, 

 in his Natural History of Chili, as growing in that country, 

 with a smaller grain, which furnishes a meal whiter, more 

 light, and in greater quantity, than the common kinds of 

 Maize. Molina considers his plant to be a distinct species, 

 calling it Zea Caragua, and distinguishes it as having its 

 leaves serrated or denticulated ; the margin of the leaves of 

 the Mais d poulet is not smooth, but edged with minute 

 hairs, which give a slight appearance of serrature. Should 

 it be thought desirable to make the experiment, the perfect 

 hardiness of this plant fits it well for field culture. 



November 17, 1818. At this, and the Meetings on the 

 5th of January, and 2nd of February following, Mr. Brad- 

 dick exhibited specimens of a Grape, raised from the seed of 

 the Hampton Court, or Red Hamburgh Vine. This was the 

 first season of the Vine's bearing. It closely resembles its 

 parent in the shape of the bunch and berries, as well as in the 

 colour, and is also like it in flavour, which is however higher, 

 and more spirited. The specimens which were exhibited in 

 February, were cut when the Vines were pruned in December, 

 the berries being then perfectly ripe, and had been hanging 

 up in a kitchen, with bunches from many other varieties, none 

 of which kept in the same state of perfection as those of this 

 seedling. It has received the name of Braddick's Hamburgh, 

 and promises to be a very useful and valuable grape.
