NOVEMBER 29, 1901.] and others that the maples, lindens and buttonwoods in Union Square, Washington Square and Madison Square are now covered with fresh leaves as in May, owing to defoliation by caterpillars; that the catalpas, honey locusts and poplars were but little eaten, and are not, therefore, covered with fresh leaves, but were injured by an early drought, and have sent out new shoots to replace those lost; these new shoots are now covered with fresh young leaves. The English elms in Washington Square were little eaten and have no new leaves. Horse-chestnuts have new shoots and some have new blossoms. Cherry trees have also been in bloom again. The magnolias and tulip trees of Bronx Park have blossomed and fruited twice this year. EDWARD S. BURGESS,Secretary.
