_Mistletoe on Oaks_ (Vol. ii., pp. 163, 214.).--Is it ever found now on

_other_ trees? Sir Thos. Browne (_Vulg. Err._ lib. ii. cap. vi. Sec. 3.) says,

"We observe it in England very commonly upon _Sallow_, _Hazell_, and Oake."

By-the-bye, DR. BELL (p. 163.) seems to adopt the belief, which it is

Browne's object in the section referred to above to refute, viz., that

"Misseltoe is bred upon trees, from seeds which birds let fall thereon."

Have later observations shown that it was Browne himself who was in error?
