Chenopodium Botrys. An interesting sub-excursion was held by 

 the branch, and the members visited an excavation on Sandy Hill at 

 the invitation of Lt.-Col. White, to examine the flora which had ap- 

 peared subsequent to the carting away of the surface sand. An interest- 

 ing feature was that, several plants not observed as growing in the imme- 

 diate locality before, now appeared, and the above named attractive 

 goose-foot was the most conspicuous amongst these. 



Cornus sericea was found at Billings' Bridge. 



Cornus paniadata. Several nice bushes were observed on the 

 light-house Island above Aylmtr, 



Aspidiiim Goldianum. A new locality for this grand fern was dis- 

 covered near Kingsmere in the Chelsea Mountains. 



Asplenium ans;ustifoliu7n. A pleasing and somewhat novel record 

 has to be made with regard to this beautiful fern. Some 15 years ago 

 a few plants were discovered near Hemlock Lake. When this same 

 locality was visited las'" autumn the delicate and pale green fronds could 

 be seen in large clumps extending over nearly an acre. 



Amongst the new records two of the Orchids are worthy of special 



mention Habetiaria virescens was found in abundance at Thurso by Mr. 



Scott, Spiranthes Ro7nanzoffiana a beautiful and highly-scented Ladies 



Tresses was found by Mr. Scott at Templeton, and on Kettle Island 



soon afterwards by Mr. Robert B. Whyte.
