 Co., Nova Scotia." 



Note. — Several interesting' specimens of a small decapod 

 crustacean allied to AnthracopaUenwn^ Salter, are seen ^o occur in 

 the more recent collections of fossil org-anic remains obtained by 

 the writer from the shaly strata of the Riversdale formation on the 

 Harrington River, which forms the boundary between Cumberland 

 and Colchester Counties, in Nova Scotia. All the congeners of 

 this species so far described in North America occur in the Coal 

 Measures, and are therefore distinctly Carboniferous. This affords 

 additional evidence in support of the view that the Riversdale 

 formation is Carboniferous. — H.M.A. 



LIST OF PLANTS COLLECTED BY MR. J. B. TYRRELL IN 

 THE KLONDIKE REGION IN 1899. 



By John M.\cou.n, M.A. F.L.S., F.R.S.C. 



Numerous small collections of plants have, during the past 

 ten or twelve years, been brought from the Yukon District to the 

 Herbarium of the Geological Survey by Government officials and 

 others. These specimens are of great value as showing the dis- 

 tribution of plants known to occur in the wooded regions to the 

 east, and our knowledge of the flora of the Klondike district is 

 almost as complete as that of other parts of Canada. The collec- 

 tion made by Mr. Tyrrell during the spring and summer of 1899 is 

 one of the most complete we have received, and a mere glance at 

 the following list will show that the spring and summer climate in 

 the vicinity of Dawson is as mild as that many degrees further 

 south in Eastern Canada; indeed the great majority of the plants 

 found in meadows, bogs, woods and river-bottoms grow within 

 one hundred miles of Ottawa. 



Mr. Tyrrell says of these plants : 



"They were all collected in the bottoms, or at no great height 

 up the sides of the valleys, at approximate elevations of between
