on the ranchsof the. Marias, situated on
the western slope of the volcano OF
Colima, State of Colima, there is a tree,
the circumference of which is fifteen
yards, or forty-five feet; it is entirely
hollow, and has been the residence of a

branches and upper part of the tree re-
tain all their vigor and life. Some forty
feet above the ground there is an aper-

built by the family, escapes.
