Larch, or Larix, is a genus of hardy, deciduous, coniferous trees of very graceful habit. They bear monoecious flowers, the male catkins being small and oval, whilst the female ones are much longer. The leaves are bright green, linear, soft, and usually produced in short bundles on each side of the spray. They appear very early in the spring. The timber, which is very hard and tough, is much used in shipbuilding and for railway sleepers, and in cabinet work is capable of taking a very high polish. The species most commonly planted is 'L. europaea', whcich grows to about 100 ft in height. Other species are 'L. occidentalis', a tall and handsome American tree and 'L. laricina', the tamarack, or hackmatack, of North America. This is a straggling tree, most common in swampy soils, with smaller cones than has the the European species. It reaches a height of 70 ft., and the wood is valuable for the same purposes  as that of other larches.

Diagram showing relations of the neurons and sensory epithelium in the retina. labels: E, epithelial layer of nucleated rode and cone cells, rods being directed towards choroid coat of retina; N1, neurons of first series receiving by their dendritic impulses from the rod and cone cells and transmitting them by their axons to N2, the neurons of the second series. The axons of the neurons of the second series pass along the inner surface of the retina to the blind spot, where they unite to form the optic nerve.
