They are all varie-ties of the common Wal-nut, -which they closelyresemble, and do not,therefore, call for anyspecial description. We now come to severalvarieties which merit ourattention from a scien-tific point of view as occupying a position midway between the two typicalspecies of the genus—Juglans regia and Juglans nigra,the former being Asiatic in its origin, the latter Ameri-can. Leaving our readers to draw their own conclusionsfrom the facts adduced, we commence with the Juglans inter-media qnadrangulata (figs. 16, 17, and 18), a vigorous treerelatively low in size, in consequence of the branches spreading. Figs. 2 aDd 3.—Juglans regia gibl30sa. through the weight of the fruit. When young the fruit issomewhat angular, and entirely covered with stifl: reddishhairs, and is surmounted by a well-developed bifid style,which is somewhat persistent. As the season advances,the angles become more marked, and by the time thatthe fruit has reached its full size they become sensibly roundedand the surface becomes rough from the remains of the bases of the hairs which areleft behind. Ou takingoff the rind the shell isfound to be covered withirregular thorns, remind-ing one of the fruit ofthe Juglans nigra. Theshells are just as hardand as difficult to sepa-rate as those of the last-named species, which italso resembles in thekernel being origin of this varietyis interesting. M.
