species, against the front wall of a greenhouse, protected by 

 a sloping slate, was uninjured ; the same species in an open 

 border had been killed in October. 



Diospyrus virginica was not injured in the Society's Garden or 

 at Sketty ; at Rolleston it was injured but not killed. 



Fraxinus americana and the other American species, were greatly 

 damaged in the Society's Garden ; but did not suffer at Owston. 



Garry a elliptica was much injured in the Society's Garden, but 

 at Liverpool and elsewhere it escaped. 



Halesia cliptera was killed in the Society's Garden. It was un- 

 hurt at Spofforth. 



Ilex opaca and vomitoria were little injured in the open lawn at 

 Claremont, very near to where the Common Holly suffered; 

 but vomitoria was killed at Singleton and Sketty, while opaca, 

 Perado, balearica and prinoides, were scarcely affected by the 

 cold in those places ; the latter, however, was cut to the 

 ground at Glasgow. 



Illicium floridanum survived at Claremont ; it has stood out at 

 Walton for many years, and also in the Mile End Nursery ; 

 and at Stoneham Park has lived as a grass plant for at least 

 ten years. 



Lupinus arbor eus was killed in the Society's Garden, and at 

 Sketty, though against a wall and uninjured by the winters of 

 1813-14 and 1836-7. 



Magnolia grandiflora stood without injury in a great many situa- 

 tions, both protected and against walls; without material injury 

 under the latter circumstances, even as far north as Doncaster ; 

 it, however, in most cases partially lost its leaves, in some cases 

 entirely ; and at Tooting, near London, a plant 25 years old 

 was totally destroyed. At Owston, it was observed that the 

 Exeter variety, about three feet from a wall, was uninjured } 

 while the common sort suffered great damage. The deci- 

 duous American species generally escaped without injury, but
