The largest true English elm in this county was recorded in 1887 at Broadlands, near Romsey, and, according to Mr. J. Smith of that town, was no ft. by 24J ft. Herefordshire, though not so remarkable for the size of its elms as for its oaks is full of fine trees, some of which were recorded by Dr. Bull in the volume of the Woolhope Transactions for 1868 ; and in later volumes other elms are mentioned at Croft Castle and Longworth. The largest I have measured is in the deer park at Hampton Court, a tree with two trunks from the same root, girthing 20 ft. and 16 ft. respectively, and 125 ft. in height in 1908. The elms of Hertfordshire are mostly of the glabrous-leaved species, and are described under U. nitens; but the finest English elm I have seen is in Hatfield Park, and measured in 1905 120 ft. by 20^ ft. The girth in 1911 was found by Mr. Barton to be 2\\ ft. At Bayford Church there is a fine tree, apparently quite sound, which was measured by Mr. H. Clinton-Baker in 1911 as no ft. by 18 ft. 9 in. Near Bayford Lodge another is 93 ft. by 21 ft. 9 in.; and a record exists that this tree had a girth of 17 ft. i in. in 1813. Kent has a great variety of elms, which appear to be mostly of a different type to those of the Thames and Severn valleys, and as a rule are planted in parks and vu 2 M. Please note that these i
