The fame day, viz. Aug . 15 th, I cut 
two fuch oppofite gaps 4 inches diftant, in 
an horizontal young thriving Oak-branchy 
it was 1 inch diameter, 1 8 days after ma- 
ny of the leaves begun to turn yellow, 
which none of the leaves of other boughs 
did then. 
The fame day I cut off the bark for one 
inch length, quite round a like branch of 
the fame Oaky eighteen days after the leaves 
were as green as any on the fame tree 5 
but the leaves fell off this and the fore- 
going branch early in the winter , yet con- 
tinued on all the reft of the boughs of the 
tree (except the top ones) all the winter. 
The fame day I cut four fuch gaps, two 
inches wide, and nine inches diftant from 
each other, in the upright arm of a Golden - 
Renat e-tree \ the diameter of the branch 
was 2 -j- l inch, the gaps faced the four 
cardinal points of the compafs; the apples 
and leaves on this branch flouriflied as 
well as tiiofe on other branches of the 
fame tree. 
Here again we fee the very free lateral 
pafiage of the fap, where the dired paffage 
is feverai times intercepted.
