The shape and size of the aquarium(, ^..618.) must depend on the extent and stj-le of the flower-garden, of which it forms a part. In all. cases the bottom, if not naturally retentive, must be rendered so by a stratum of tempered (or puddled)clay (a); the sides should be formed in terraces, or steps descending towards the centre (6), to hold potsof plants which grow in shallow water, while those that require deep water, as the bulrush, typha, &c.may be planted in the ground, or in large tubs placed in deep water. The margin of the aquarium mayeither be finished with;regular masonry or brick-work; or what, in some situations, has a better effect, withrough stones, conglomerated vitrified bricks, or flints (c), in the interstices of which marsh plants willthrive exceedingly. The whole may be surrounded by a drain and gravel-walk {d), raised a few inchesabove the level of the water. Many of the aquatic plants, as nymphssa, nuphar, menyanthes, villarsia, butomus, and hottonia, &c. are highly beautiful; and, considering that some exotic species, asamaryllis, lobelia, crinum, &c.
