million pounds for purchasing 10,872 
acres of primeval woods and meadows 
around the town. 
Moreover, a great many natural

owners. Prince Liechtenstein made 
a reservation of 353 acres in Moravia- 
Silesia, in which there occur Juni- 
perns nana and Salix herbacea, Mr 
Rothschild, of Vienna, made a reserve 
of 1,136 acres of primeval forest 
in the mountains of Diirnstein ; and

of safe-guarding a primitive forest in 
central Europe. Indeed, this wood, con- 
taining much Picea excelsa and Abies 
pectinata, is of the greatest interest to 
naturalists and artists.
