as far as Millbank Sound and Stikine. Tolmie.—fi.? N. W. America. Menzies.—This well-known Hemlock
Spruce is readily distinguished by its small terminal cones. My specimens from N. W. America, which are
in fruit, do not seem to differ from those of Eastern America, and I am led to consider the P. taxifolius of
Mr Lambert probably a variety of the present species.

from the preceding by its shorter leaves and smaller cones.
I am unacquainted with the affinities of the two following species—

A truly distinct species from the preceding, in the characters above given. Mr Lambert seems to have confounded
it with a different species said to have been found by Don Luis Neè in New Spain : for his characters,
probably taken from that species, do not agree with Mr Menzies’ original specimens from Nutka, which
he has nevertheless considered as the same. The branches are longer, slenderer, and more upright than in
T. occidentalis, yet less flattened or ancipitate, of a deeper green colour. The leaves are always d e stitu te
of a tubercle, and the cones are much more drooping ; in short, bearing the same relation with it, that
