similar to that still existing at Hampton Court. The object in planting
a labyrinth is to form a puzzle, first to discover the centre, and after-
wards to find the way out again. For this purpose the hedges should
be sufficiently thick not to be seen through, and sufficiently high not to
be seen over; and in order that the surface of the ground may be dry,
the whole ought to be thoroughly drained before planting. The horn-
beam is preferred for labyrinths, on account of its rapid growth, and
because it retains its leaves throughout the winter. The building in the
centre may be a summer house, and the labyrinth may be rendered more
intricate by introducing stop-hedges across the path, at different places,
as indicated in the figure by dotted lines."

"Professor Link, in a very able article On the Genus Pinus, and its European Specics, proposes to separate the genera Dámmara, Cunninghamia, and Áraucaria from the Abiétinæ, not only on account of the breadth and expansion of their leaves, but from their containing spiral vessels sufficiently large to be easily perceptible in the leaves produced on the old wood, (whereas, in the genera Pinus and A'bies, the spiral vessels are very small, and, indeed, only perceptible in the young shoots,) and from the inverted position of the female blossoms. This new family he proposes to call Dammaraceæ." Pinus. 2152., add to "Description: ""Professor Link agrees with Mir

bel and Schubert (part xv. Annales du Mus., and part iii. Bull. de la Soc. Phil.) in considering the genus Pinus to belong to Monc'cia Monándria, instead of Mono'cia Monadelphia, where it was placed by Linnæus; and he instances Pinus Ta'da as affording a convincing proof of the correctness of this classification."

Professor Link, speaking of this species, says that Lambert has given a good figure of it; but that he is wrong in stating that the cones are single, as they are never less than two or three together on wild trees. (Berl. Abhand., p. 177.)

P. h. maritima. This pine, which Link calls P. marítima, has, he states, the cones on long footstalks, bent downwards, and in clusters of at least two or three together. (Ibid., p. 177.)

P. brutia. Page 2234. Professor Link describes this species as forming a tree as lofty as P. Larício. The cones, he adds, are not sessile, but on very short footstalks, a little bent downwards. The wing of the seed is from 6 to 8 lines long, sword-shaped, narrow at the base, but widening gradually towards the summit. It is a very handsome tree, and is easily distinguished by its very long slender leaves, and nearly smooth cones; the points of the scales being very much pressed in. (Ibid., p. 176.)

Otto of Berlin." A'bies. 2293. Professor Link, in 1827, divided the species which compose this genus, from Pìnus under the name of Picea, the Latin for the spruce fir, as Abies is for the silver fir; the mistake of the older botanists, which was followed by Linnæus, in reversing these names, having led to great confusion.

"This genus," Professor Link observes," approaches the nearest to that of Pìnus, and, upon close inspection, still more so than at the first glance. For instance, if the leaves that stand singly are examined minutely, it will be seen that several of them have their surfaces (oberflächen) grown together; and, consequently, they are in tufts, like the leaves of the pine. As a proof that this is the case, it will be found that there is no upper surface on the leaves of the fir; but that the leaves present only the under surface on both sides, as will be seen on comparing them with the leaves of the pine. The seam (fuge) where the leaves are joined may be distinctly seen: it forms a line in relief on both sides of the leaves of the common spruce; which is never the case when such a line is formed by the midrib, because it is then either on the upper or under side. Some firs have two leaves grown together, others four. The sheaths at the base of the leaves are not observable, but they appear to have grown together in the short footstalk."

Alstrom., the Hängetanne of Sweden, with long, slender, pendulous, leafless twigs, is a kind frequently found in spruce fir woods; but Link considers it only a variety of the common spruce. (Berl. Abhand., p. 182.) The Earl of Aberdeen mentions a spruce at Harewood House, Yorkshire, resembling very much the A. e. tenuifòlia, or A. e. élegans, in leaves and shoots. The tree,' His Lordship observes, is of a peculiar habit and character. It is about 40 ft. high; the branches are all slender, and point upwards, giving the tree a
