may want; and as the saccharine matter, under the preced¬ 
ing circumstances, is apparently generated whilst life still 
lingers in the fragments of the pulp, it is impossible to calcu¬

instant within our view, but with whose means of operating 
we must ever remain in total ignorance. 
The Red Must is probably a native of Herefordshire, in 
the deep soils of which County the trees acquired a much 
greater magnitude than is common to the species. Philips
