inches long, very acute, aculeolate marginally and along mid-

Farewell Creek, Cypress Hills, Assiniboia, J. M. Macoun, 27

await solution, in the pages just indicated. His gatherings, 
with the exception of one day’s collecting at Springfield, Mas- 
sachusetts, all were made within the State of Connecticut and
