Perhaps the most interesting of these were those found at the 

 Kirk's Ferry excursion, whicli were of a much more northern 

 character than the rest. 



Tilm Americana, L. vav. piibesceus, Loud, was found near the St. 

 Louis Dam as well as SoUdago jancea, Ait. 



Geranium 2^1' cdensc^ L., a European garden-escape has been observed 

 by Mr. E,. B. Whyte at Aylmer, P.Q., for some years, and is for that 

 reason introduced into the list as an adventitious plant.

 with the special object of collecting roots of the rare orchid Aplectruvo
