and Miscellaneous Particulars. 
The uses of cork in Britain are well known. It was used as sandals by the Greeks, whence our cork soles, 
and probably the Venetian choppings {cioppini, Ital.), or shoes so high heeled, as to raise the women above the 
men The poor people in Spain lay broad planks of it by their bed-side to tread on, as great persons use 
A, • 1^ ^"^ Persian carpets to defend them from the floor ; and sometimes they line the walls and i;isides of 
their houses built of stone with this bark, which renders them very warm, and corrects the moisture of the air. 
Both m Spain and Barbary bee-hives are made of cork ; for this purpose, they roll the bark into a cylinder of 
hve or six feet long, and six inches in diameter, boring holes for the entrance and exit of the bees, as in the 
Polish hive. {Encyc. of Gard. 1738.) 
Q- coccifera, Cusoja, Span., has prickly leaves like those of the holly, or Q. ilex, from this species is collected 
the kermes or scarlet grain, a little red gall, occasioned by the puncture of the Coccus ilicis. With these galls 
scarlet color was dyed, till the discovery of America, when another species of Coccus, the cochinillifer, was 
tound in the Mexican woods upon the Cactus. 
Q. phellos is remarkable for the form of the leaves, which differ in character from those of the rest of the 
species. Q. ilex, the holly, or holm oak, ChAne verd, Fr., Elice, Ital, and Enxina, Span., is a handsome ever- 
green tree, and the timber is supposed equal to that of the common oak. Q. gramuntia is thought by some
