g, An aquarium, on the margin of a bank of rockwork, of which fig. 90. in p. 375. is a view, which extends from the English garden nearly to the Dutch garden. The walk connecting these two gardens, and also a branch from it to the conservatory and kitchen-garden, are covered with an arcade of creeping shrubs, sufficiently open on the sides to admit a view of the bordering plants, which are all of the more rare and beautiful kinds. There are here, also, various sanctums, and minor compartments for small plants, not shown in the plan; and also a large space for setting out the greenhouse plants during summer.
