branches of nearly every growing tree, small and great. Each and every one of these is a veritable garden in itself so deftly arranged and intermingled are the hosts of our plants that find lodgement here. Some single giant trees if carefully studied from the ground to the topmost twig would yield almost as many distinct kinds of plants as could be collected on 3 or 4 sections of Nebraska woodland. Then too the great contrast in colors that these multitude of plants show is truly astonishing. An attempt to describe the meddly would be useless at this time. Perhaps a later effort will be made towards such an end.

There were only a few passengers — 10 in number, but very pleasant, so the journey was all that one could have desired. On the journey 3 steamers were met, several islands of great beauty passed and a number of species of birds and fishes seen.
