This division, although artificial, brings together for the most part such as appear by their 
habit to be nearly allied. It is not however to be supposed but that some new species maj 
be discovered, which will not very readily arrange under any of these divisions. Some in¬ 
convenience will, we doubt not, be felt by a reference to a positive measurement of th» 
corolla; as some species may vary, so as sometimes to be belovv and sometimes to exceed 
half an inch. We regard this as the- greatest defect in this arrangement, which is never¬ 
theless most excellent.

MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT. 
^HE wheats are generally housed and stacked, within a circuit of fifty to one hundred miles* 
from the metropolis; in the distant, northern countries, wheat harvest is now at its height, 
in the backward, commencing. The promises of spring have by no means been realized, 
whether as to the quantity or quality of the wheat crop; much of it is thin and of indifferent 
sample, or discoloured. . The cause as stated in our last Report, changeableness of the weather 
<iuring the summer, and the prevalence of cold easterly winds. The last was the most genial 
and mild spring which has been experienced in this country for many years, and vegetation 
was in consequence universally luxuriant; unfortunately, the summer has partaken too much 
of the complexion of those to which of late years we have been accustomed, and with respect to 
wheat and barley, the produce in grain, has not equalled the promised in plant. This chiefly 
with respect to quality, the wheat crop being presumed one tenth below that of last year. 
T pon the best lands, however, and the most favourable situations, much fine wheat has been 
produced, and from the immense breadth of land which was sown, the wheat crop, under all 
circumstances, must be great. 
Barley and peas much injured by blight, the latter in many parts almost devoured by vermin. 
Oats a most abundant crop throughout. Beans generally cut, said to promise well. Hops good. 
All root crops will be large, some exceptions with regard to turnips, as also will the latter- 
math or second crop of grass. A great fruit season ; for plums and pears, uncommon. 
Markets continue high, both for fat and lean cattle ; the latter, from the great abundance 
of food. Milch cows at a very great price. Store pigs of all kinds abundant and cheaper. 
Irish provisions in great plenty and cheap in proportion, especially pork. 
Kent of good land rather advancing. The thrashing machine becoming general upon Urge 
farms, but has not yet reached the smaller concerns, as in Scotland: highly approved and 
"will, in time, be universal. In our country letters we have received from Essex, the account 
of a most horrible and appalling act of barbarity towards a horse, which has already appeared 
in the public papers, and which it seems to be the general sentiment, ought to be made the 
subject of public investigation.
