Four specimens have been for-warded to the collection, under the designations of “ Com-mon rice” (Oryzasativa), at 14 reals the arroba; Mos-coda or red rice (0. rubra), at 16 reals; and long rice(0. elongate ), at 15 reals; Hermoro, or fair rice (0.pulchernmd), at 16 reals.

[A certain red colouring substance, known under thename of Grana Hermes, is collected from the shrubs andunderwood of the province of Huelvas. We had sus-pected that this colouring matter was, in fact, identicalwith the minute insect which we find in Quercus cochenilifer; but, on a closer examination of the specimenthat has been deposited in the Exhibition, we have ourdoubts about this fact. “ G-rana Kermes ” is purchased atValencia (where it is employed in some of their manu-factures) at 9 reals, or, at the utmost, at 3 francs (2s. 6d.)per pound. In former ages, the collection of this sub-stance would seem to have constituted a considerablebranch of trade, for we have seen some ancient “ ordon-nances,” and especially one of the year 1309, authorizingthe collection of tithe on the “ grana” gathered in Murcia and other districts of that bishopric.—B. de S.]

Chick-peas ( Garbanzos; Cicer arietinum ).
[ Garbanzos is the grain or vetch of the Cicer arie-tinum , a plant widely diffused over, and of very ge-neral use in Spain , at the tables of the rich as well as atthose of the poor, forming an indispensable and cha-racteristic ingredient in the famous olla-podrida. Itabounds * in the two Castilles, and in the southern pro-vinces, but is rare, or wholly uncultivated, in the northernprovinces ; in which, however, it is in equally general use.The qualities of the carbanzos, which are determined bytheir relative size and by the fineness of their meal (fate),vary much; and the prices, of course, in proportion.Garbanzos of Valladolid range from 90 to 140 reals forthe fanegua, or nearly 4 arrobas, or 50 kilogrammes.Those of Segovia fetch 100, 115, and 120 reals; those ofZamora (which are the celebrated kind of Fuente Sanco),at 120 ; of Malaga , at 170 reals. The prices of these pro-ducts are always dearer on the coasts of Spain .]

[Chestnuts abound in the two extreme zones of Spain ,the north and the south. The same observation holdsgood as to the greater dearness of this fruit on the sea-coast, where the trade is active, as we have recently madeon another product.
