ciirrence. Whether Mr. Michaux has been successful 
in changing the specific names of the pines, I 
shall leave to future botanists to decide ; but I must 
correct him in respect to the specific name he haS 
added to my own, which certainly does not belong 
to it.” The observation which Mr. Lambert makes 
in this place is, “ Michaux’s observations relative to 
the branches of P. inops being not fit for hoops appear 
to be mere matter of opinion, as well as mine, without 
experience.”

This tree, called by Aiton Pitch Pine, is generally 
known in its native country by the name of Norway 
Pine 3 sometimes, particularly among the Canadian 
French, Red Pine. It grows in close forests, is very 
tall, and its bark is remarkably smooth and red 3 the 
timber is very heavy, for wdiich reason it is rejected for 
masts, though its size and shape are apparently very 
recommendable for that purpose. Mr. Lambert in his 
note, quoted above, observes, ‘Mn confirmation of 
what I have said relative to the timber of P. resinosa, 
Mr. Michaux mientions the exportation of it being 
much diminished, as it has been found to contain too 
much sap 5 but he still thinks, from some planks he 
has seen, it is without foundation.”

Tj . April, May. v. v. The Scrub Pine, or, as Mi- 
chaux calls it, the Gray Pine, is a small straggling 
tree, which in some instances, when growing among 
the barren rocks, does not rise above five or eight feet 
high, though it will grow to a considerable size when, 
by accident or culture, it is brought on good soil. Mr. 
Lambert observes in his note, that the trees of this
