and give promise of rapid increase:—Alsike Clover, Trifolium 
hybridum ; Bird’s Foot Clover, 7. agrarium; Carrot, Daucus 
Carota; Coltsfoot, Tussilago Farfara; Canada Thistle, Cirsium 
arvense; Prickly Lettuce, Lactuca scariola.

Ontario; Mugwort, Artemisia vulgaris, single plant; Upright 
Cinquefoil, Potentilla recta, single plant; Yellow Flag, Jris Ger-

Notes from the Saguenay River. 
The little French village of St. Alexis in the province of 
Chicoutimi, Quebec, bordering upon its slightly larger neighbor 
St. Alphonse, is built upon a narrow margin of alluvium and 
drift surrounding the higher ledges of syenite behind it and looks
