THE CANADIAN NATURALIST. 



List of Boreal Species — Continued. 



[June 



N.B.— The last seven species of this list have a range intermediate between 

 this type and the succeeding one, 



[Species marked S' have been found at the seaside only in the 

 southern hills. Those in second column marked W., occur on 

 the St. John River, near the centre of New Brunswick. The 

 remainder have been gathered near and on the Gulf Shore. 

 S' and N' on the fourth column, designate respectively the 

 southern and northern parts of the Upper Plain, including the 

 Aroostoffk and St. John districts of Goodale. Species marked 

 E' in the third column grow in that part of the southern hills 

 bordering the Bay of Chaleur.] 



Mr. G. L. Goodale has the merit of first calling attention to 

 the occurrence of this type of vegetation in Acadia. He says : — 

 (2nd Report, p. 125.) "The country lying along the St. John, 

 " from Boundary Branch to Grand Falls, is marked by the very 

 " frequent occurrence of certain North-Western plants. And 

 " the district comprised by the curved northern limit of Maine. 

 " and a line drawn from Grand Falls to a point between Baker 

 " Lake and Boundary Branch, will be found to be nearly the 

 " range of these plants in our State. This district is so entirely 

 " distinct botanically from any other portion of Maine, that its 

 " limits can be said with confidence to be clearly defined. The 

 " following list of plants may be considered as comprising the 

 " most characteristic species of the St. Johns district : — 

 " Anemone parviflora. 

 " Astragalus alpinus.
