Does our Indigenous Flora give Evidence of a recent Change of 
Climate? J. Vroom. (Reprint from Bull. No. vii. Nat. Hist. 
Soc. New Brunswick). 
The author endeavors to answer the question: ‘ whe- 
ther our sub-arctic plants have lingered here since the 
glaciers receded, or have once passed on in their northern 
migrations and been again driven southward to replace less 
hardy species; and whether a general movement in either 
direction is now going on.”’ From facts observed the conclusion 
is reached that there has apparently been, within recent geolog- 
ical times, a constant amelioration of climate and a general ten- 
dency of plant migration northward.
