July last, it was, therefore, a great surprise to find a small slightly 
brackish pool back of the marsh closely covered with Lemna minor 
L., while near by were luxuriant plants of Sparganium eurycarpum 
Engelm.; two species which are very typical of the coastal region from 
Nova Scotia and eastern Massachusetts southward and of the Miss- 
issippi Basin. These plants which are very local at Bic are not defi- 
nitely recorded in Macoun's Catalogue from the Province of Quebec, 
though credited to the vicinity of Ottawa. The nearest stations for 
the Lemna seem to be at Petitcodiac, New Brunswick, about 250 
miles to the southeast, and at the head of Lake Champlain, about 
330 miles to the southwest. The most northerly stations previously 
known to the writer for Sparganium eurycarpum are at Pictou, Nova 
Scotia, about 350 miles to the southeast, at Oldtown, Maine, 200 miles 
or more nearly due south, and on Lake Champlain.— M. L. FERNALD,
