they had been submitted to coating of

natural barrier existing between them
and the other varieties which are found
in this creek. A series of high and

so, from generation to generation, they
have thus, by a. natural barrier, been
able to preserve their distinct character.
Some Of them have descended into the
lower part of the stream, and mixed a
variety, combining the golden and

that he could not obtain Justice before
