at length to the Trees ^ whereof I have met with but one undefcri- -

alfo from their Vlmiis folio glabro^ w^hofe Leaves they fay are no- 
thing fo large as the Wycb Hafel, but neareft in bignefs, and exad:- 
ly in the figure of the common Elm ; whereas ours are much lefs^ 
and of a quite different figure ; being narrow, and having a pe- 
culiar kind of pointed ending, as exadly expreffed in Z^^. 10.
