APPENDIX E CXLV 



The phenochrons of each of these compilers were again averaged 

 into the ten columns of phenochrons for each region of the Province l)y 

 Miss Jean Lindsay, B.A., of the Education Department, as they are 

 given in the first table following. 



The general phenochrons for Nova Scotia, and the observations 

 reported by the follov.'ing observers from stations within the other 

 Provinces of the Dominion are given in the last table: 



New Brunswick: Geo. U. Hay, D.Sc, Saint John. 

 Prince Edward Island: John MacSwain, Charlottetown. 

 Prince Edward Island: J. J\r. Duncan, Kensington. 

 Ontario: Cephas Guillet, Ph.D., Ottawa. 

 Ontario: Mrs. F. E. Webster, Creemore. 

 Ontario: A. B. Klugh, Guelph. 



Saskatchewan: Eev. Charles W. Bryden, B.A., Shellbrook. 

 British Columbia: J. K. Henr\% B.A., Vancouver. 



It was found to be impossible hitherto to obtain reports from Yukon 

 and Newfoundland. Several parties at the beginning of the year 

 hoped to be able to record ol^servations, but before the close of the season 

 pressure of other affairs had prevented them from making a series of 

 observations which they cared to report. But were only a half a dozen 

 observations made, they would be of very great interest, for they would 

 form a basis of comparison with as many objects observed in the other 

 provinces. It is hoped we may be more successful in the future in 

 •obtaining observations representing portions of the continent from the 

 Atlantic to the Pacific and north to the Arctic. Even should the 

 observations be very few, they would be of very great value. 



Circular and special letters were sent out to hundreds of addresses 

 during the year, asking for co-operation in the various kinds of botanical 

 work which may he found convenient in each locality. The exploration 

 of the local floras is goiug steadily on. It is sugsfested, that those 

 sending in to the General Secretary list of plants new to any locality, 

 should have each species Avàth the notes on it so separated on the manu- 

 script, that 6cich can be easilv cut oiï to be collated by the central com- 

 piler with similar notes on the same species from other localities. 



The annual meeting of the Club was held during the meeting of 

 the Eoyal Society at Ottawa ; the first meeting at noon on the 24th of 

 j\Iay, 190.5, and the second on the 35th ^fay, at 4 p.m., in the Section 

 IV. meeting room in tlie Normal School Building. There were present : 

 John Macoun, G. U. Hay, James Fletcher, Professor Fowler, Dr. Bur- 

 gess, Mr. Evans, and A. H. MacKay. John IMacoun gave an idea of 

 the amount of new work done since the first volume of the Catalogue
