stood at Claremont, in the open borders from four to five 

 years, were not only killed, but the best shrubby sorts, in a 

 brick pit covered with a glass, (but no mat,) were also destroyed. 



C. viscosissima and integrifolia angusttfolia were killed in the 

 Society's Garden. At SpofForth several survived ; C. integri- 

 folia, and sessilis, were destroyed at this place in a conservatory, 

 but C. viscosa survived in the same situation. C. rugosa and 

 integrifolia were killed even at Falmouth, after having grown 

 without protection for 5 or 6 years. 



Ce strum Parqui was killed at Sketty, and in the Society's Garden, 

 along with C. nocturnum. 



Chlidanthus fragrans escaped, in a hothouse border, at Glasgow. 



Colletia Ephedra survived at Liverpool. In the Society's Gar- 

 den, the only species which escaped was C. horrida, and that 

 was not much damaged. At Belsay C. serratifolia was only 

 killed to the ground. 



Cypella Herbertiana, covered with a few leaves, was uninjured at 

 Spofforth. 



Duranta cyanea was killed in the Society's Garden, after sur-

Duvauas. The various species were in some places killed entirely ; 

 at Carclew, the main stem of one species only was safe. In the 

 Society's Garden, D. latifolia was destroyed on a south wall, 



D. dentata, and dependent, were cut to the ground, but D. 

 ovata was unharmed. 



Eccremocarpus scaler was generally killed. At Carclew, in a bor- 

 der where it was trained over a low coping, and along the front 

 of a terrace-wall, facing the east, it was killed ; while at the 

 distance of only a few feet, where it was trained against the 

 trellis of a bastion, in a dry situation, it remained alive and 

 vigorous. 



Ehretia serrata has been growing several years in the Society's
