" The Douglas fir inak(?s its fir;^t appearance in the mountains of Northern Jfexico, in the county near the Reale del Jlonte mines. Thence It follow - northwards the western slope of the llocky iMountalns, at least as high as the now celebrated but savage Caribie if, or Cariboo gold-lieliTs in IJrItish Columbia. Douglas, the collector, who crossed the Bocky ^Mountains a little to the .lonth, through the Committee's Punch-bowl Pass, reported that it formed vast forests there on the, lower ranges, and struggh'l upwards till it became niero scrub.. Wc ourselves had till lately bark of the tree from those tlcsolato regions fully six inches thick. . ■. " A spar of this fir, more than 200 feet high, has been erected in ll.'c lloyal Ihjfaiiic fJardens at Kew; and sections, cut at intervals of lift, 'U feet, ,of a tree :J09 feet long, were sent to this country for (he fut. r- .
