168 BULLETIN OF THE NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY. 



REPORT OF THE BOTANICAL COMMITTEE. 



The Committee on Botany reports the discovery of several species 

 and varieties of plants new to the province, to which may be added 

 the occurrence in fresh localities of a few of our rarer species, which 

 will furnish data in the preparation of a revised list of New Brunswick 

 plants. The committee regrets that there are so few workers, and 

 would urge on all interested in this science the importance of investi- 

 gating and making yearly reports of the plants which may come under 

 their observation, either in their own vicinity or in their excursions 

 from home. Such information in regard to our weeds, as well as of 

 our fungi and other plants too little known, is greatly needed. 



In the list appended the names of species and varieties new to the 

 province are printed in full faced type. The numbers correspond to 

 those in Fowler's catalogue (Bulletin IV). All those found on the 

 Nipisiguit and Tobique lakes and rivers were collected by Messrs. 

 Ganong and Hay on their recent trip across the province.
