PINETUM BRITANNICUM. 
Several recent envois of feeds of this fpecies have been received in Ruffia, through the different 
exploring expeditions of Middendorf, Radde, Schrenck, Maack, and Maximowicz, which have latterly 
made us acquainted with much of the natural hiftory of Eaftern Siberia; and we underhand that it grows 
well in the Botanic Garden at St Petersburg, and there maintains its diftinbtive character. 
It is an addition to the hardy Pines that thrive in Britain, which is interefting to the botanift 
and ftudent of geographical diftribution; but in other refpe&s it can fcarcely be called a valuable 
acquifition. 
Commercial Statiftics. —None, never having been in the market.
