NOTES ON SOME PLANTS OF THE ONTARIO AND 
ST. LAWRENCE BASINS, NEW YORK. 
M. L. FERNALD AND K. M. WIEGAND. 
DvniNc the latter part of August, 1923, the writers, accompanied 
by Professor A. J. Eames, made a botanizing trip by automobile 
through the eastern half of the Ontario basin of New York and along 
the St. Lawrence River as far as Ogdensburg. This region is classic 
ground in American botany and it was our hope to see growing some 
of the special plants which have long been known from stations in 
Oswego, Jefferson and St. Lawrence Counties. In this we were 
highly gratified, although the limited time at our disposal forced us 
to restrict the close botanizing to a few localities: Mud Pond, south- 
west of Oswego; the mouth of Salmon River, Oswego County; the 
sand dunes at Selkirk and near North Pond in Sandy Creek Township, 
Oswego County; the vicinity of Watertown, Jefferson County; the 
eastern shore of Chaumont Bay, Jefferson County; the mouth of 
French Creek, Clayton, Jefferson County; the vicinity of Morristown, 
St. Lawrence County; and Narrows Island in Black Lake, St. - 
Lawrence County. 
Among the plants collected were several which are interesting as 
indicating range-extensions or new stations for local species. In so 
. far as these seem of sufficient importance for special record they are 
enumerated in the following notes. 
PICEA CANADENSIS (Mill. BSP. Limestone barrens along Chau- 
mont River, near Depauville, Jefferson County.
