thought was the original one of orientalis, to be distinct from that, and he now believes it te 
be the stock from which difforus, No. 197, has degenerated, and he very much doubts the 
truth of its being indigenous to this country, as has been supposed. He remarks, that in-all 
the specimens of biflorus which he has examine’, the anthers'were white and devoid of pol- 
len; whence the plant (he says) never perfects its fruit. This circumstance, sid a 
would lead us rather to suspect a hybrid, than a degenerated species. 18. Orientalis, I

Tue qnaintity of rain fallen since our Inst report of it, js equal to rather more than six 
inches in depth. We have at length hacicome most ‘beneficial rains, and from the various reports 
which we have had from many of the counties of England, there i 1s every prospect of more 
than average crops of corn. The dread, therefore, of a threatened scarcity is now happily 
removed, and we may hope for the blessings of Plenty. On fifteen cays out of the thirty, there 
has been rain, and on some of them the storms have been violent, and the quantity of rain 
very consiverable. In some parts the thundcr and lightning lave been productive of much 
mischief ; on the 14th the thunder was louder at this place than was ever remembered to 
have been heard. On St. Swithin, we had rain in plenty, but the eulgar notion has not been 
realized, having had several brilliant days since, on which there has not been a single drop 
The hottest day, as is seen above, was on the 25th of june, the thermometer then stood 
at 80°; besides that day, the mercury has stood once at 78°, and three at 76°, or what is de 
nominated summer heat. The average degree of heat fer the whole month js 61°, or nearly 
the same as it was forthe last month. ‘the ave a heighc of the barometer is 9-572. -The 
wind has been chiefly in the westerly points. For the last fortnight the mornings and evene 
jogs have been very cold.
