Note. — In drawing up the above Catalogue of Plants, collected 

 by Mr. Robert Bell, in the counties of Rimouski, Gaspe and Bona- 

 venture, in the eastern peninsula of Lower Canada, I derived much 

 assistance from George' Barnston, Esq., of the Hon. Hudson's Bay 

 Company, who obligingly determined for me all those species 

 about which I was in doubt. The list, from unavoidable circum- 

 stances, is not so extensive as could be wished, but it will be found 

 to contain some very interesting species. 



It is remarkable that no Oak, White Ash, Basswood, Soft 

 Maple, Beech, Butternut, and Hemlock Fir, were observed in this 

 district.
