NOTES ON THE GEOLOGY AND BOTANY OF NEW 



BRUNSWICK. 



By Professor L. W. Bailey. 



In a Report which I have had the honor to lay before His Ex- 

 cellency the Lieutenant-Governor of the Province relating to the 

 mines and minerals of New Brunswick, some reference has been 

 made to the results obtained during a tour from Fredericton to 

 Bathurst, and by an examin ation of the rivers of Tobique and 

 Nepisiquit. Much of the inform ation thus obtained being un- 

 suitable for the more especial purposes of that Report, I have, at 

 His Excellency's desire, determined to compile the more interest- 

 ing facts for presentation to the Society of Natural History. This 

 paper, therefore, is intended as a Supplement to the Report above 

 alluded to. It is my object to write down in as connected a form 

 as possible, the various rambling observations of a scientific charac- 

 acter made during a canoe exploration of the streams above-men- 

 tioned. Much of the country travelled over has not been hereto- 

 fore scientifically examined ; and although my trip was of too hur- 

 ried a character to admit of very careful examinations, it is hoped 

 that some of the results obtained may not be without interest and 

 value.
