similar plants of the Canadian J. cathartica were nearly 

 destroyed. 



Anagyris foetida, a native of the southern parts of France, 

 and of the coasts of the Mediterranean, was finally destroyed, 

 having been damaged by the previous winter, while the 

 Anagyris Indica, a native of Nepal, sustained no injury what- 

 soever, and while Vella Pseudo-cytisus, Dorycnium Mons- 

 peliense, natives of the same localities as A. foetida, and even 

 the Aristotelia Macqui of Chile were unharmed. 



Duvaua dependens, a Chilian shrub, Pistacia Lentiscus, 

 and some other Terebintaceous plants,whileinfull vegetation, 

 were scarcely affected by the 13° of frost above alluded to, 

 although numerous plants from the same countries, with the 

 same sensible qualities and natural affinities were lost during 

 the winter, even while in a state of torpidity. 



The variegated variety of Acer campestre was damaged, 

 while the common wild kind was uninjured. This and the 

 variegated variety of Aristotelia Macqui, are the only instances 

 which were noticed of the variegated variety of a hardy plant 

 being more tender than its parent. 



All trees upon walls which had copings were perfectly pro- 

 tected, excepting those whose shoots projected beyond the 

 perpendicular influence of the coping ; under such circum- 

 stances the shoots of Vines were quite cut off. 



Upon inspecting the young fruit of such trees as were at 

 the time in blossom, it appeared as if no injury had been sus- 

 tained by their flowers ; but upon examining them more 

 minutely, it was ascertained that their ovaria were black with 

 death, and it subsequently was seen that fruit, so affected, all 

 fell from the trees and perished. It was also remarked that,
