Tt was eald by Fooruet that tho exhalations from the' upas wore so virulent that no anlmal ocould exist in its vicinity, Dirde wore declared to fali dend that attempted to fly ovor the tres ortoalight in its branchcs, and animals that veotured into the valloy whero it grow wers quickly overcome by ita btighting broath, and, falliug doad in tha act of retreat, loft their bones to attest that tho place waa a voritablo Valley of Death, Naturallsts have sinco proved thewa storics to be false, for the npas not only thrives amoug other frecu without ocoasioning them sny injury, bub birds and beasts may sock ita sheltor ‘with impunity, Upns is tho Malsy name for poison, snd is applled to various doadly vegetable productain the islands off the southern coast of Asla.
