vegetation, which may interest some readers, from the remote- 
ness of the region, though only the most conspicuous species and 
their prevalence are mentioned. The time of my visit was at the 
middle of July, when the day temperature was seldom much over 
70° F. and the night, at times, as low as 50°. 
Over the syenite hill upon which the hotel stands, Ka/mia 
angustifolia, L.., grows in great abundance, while the pretty Poten- 
tilla tridentata, Ait., spangles the rocks in white patches. In 
sunny spots the vetch, Vzcza Cracca, L., raises its purple or 
blue spires and the red-berried stems of Cornus Canadensis, 
L., fill the cooler nooks. Superb displays of Actea spicata, 
L., var. rubra, are seen in the woods where Sambucus 
pubens shows its coral berries. The yellow-rattle Rhinanthus 
Crista-galli, L., occurs plentifully, and through the uplands £y- 
phorbia Helioscopia, L., with T) hlaspi arvense, L., is seen. Over 
many ledges the Labrador tea, Ledum Jatifolium, Ait., spreads 
its flannel lined leaves with Chiogenes hispidula, T.and G., Gaul- 
theria procumbens, L., and Vaccinium Vitis-Idea, L. in many 
Places Silene inflata, Smith, becomes a weed; in wet spots the 
cottony heads of Eriophorum polystachyon, L., cluster, and rarely 
the fragrance of Spiranthes Romanzoviana, Chamisso, arrests 
attention. Aralia hispida, Michx., Myosotis palustris, Withering, 
Diervilla trifida, Mcench, Epilobium angustifolium, L., Geum 
strictum, Ait., Thalictrum Cornuti, L., Campanula rotundifolia, 
L., are easily gathered, while less abundant are Sanicula Cana- 
densis, L., Rudbeckia hirta, L., Linum usitatissimum, L., Cornus 
stolonifera, Michx., Antennaria margaritacea, R. Br., Epilo- 
bium palustre, L., and Potentilla Norvegica L. 
Our common wayside plants appear in this northern station. 
Here are seen Brunella vulgaris, L, Leonurus cardiaca, LU... 
Stellaria media, Smith, Gnothera biennis, L., Galeopsis Tetrahit, 
L., Chenopodium album, L., Lactuca Canadensis, L., Capsella 
bursa-pastoris, Moench, and Ranunculus acris, L. Two clovers 
are distributed here, 77ifolium repens, L., and 7. pratense, L. 
The fertile patches of strawberries (7. vesca, L., and & Virgin- 
zana, Ehrh.) crowd the hillside, and amongst berry producers we 
find Ribes Cynosbati, L., Rubus triflorus, Richardson, R. stri- — 
gosus, Michx., and Vaccinium Pennsylvanicum, Lam.
