ing species, and suggested that dijjitatus would be a satisfactory specific 

 name. In its general aspect this plant resembles F. evanescens, but is 

 much smaller, and as the fruit is in all cases wanting, it is difficult to 

 assign it to an}' modern species. The name of F. dit/itatus, as suggested, 

 maj', under these circumstances, be apjîlied provisionally. 



PLANTS FROM. OTHER LOCALITIES. 



Ill addition to the material from the Moose and Missinaibi liivers, 

 and from Besserer s wharf, as described, a number of new localities, as 

 well as several additional plants, have been brought to notice within the 

 last few years, and it will be profitable to consider these in connection 

 with the data already recorded, in order to gain some clearer concej^tion 

 of their climatic and geological relations. 



LaRIX AMERrCANA. 



Our first enumeration of Pleistocene plants shows that this species 

 had already been found by Mr. Weston in the Leda clays at Montreal.^ 

 Two more localities are now to be recorded. The first was reported bj' 

 Mr. C S. Gordon, of Chicago University, from the lower Till at Fort 

 Madison, Iowa. The second was reported by Dr. W. F. Ganong, of 

 Smith College, Northampton, Mass., from peat bogs in Xew Brunswick.^ 

 The first locality represents a region which is at or possibly just beyond 

 the extreme southern limit of distribution for the species at the present 

 time. The second localit}^ lies within the southern area of distribution, 

 but within an area where the species is at present common. 



Taxus canadensis. 



This s])ecies has already been reported from five different and widely 

 separated localities.' More recent material confirms the previous deter- 

 mination of its occurrence in the Don valley at Toronto, and indicates a 

 new locality in the lower Till at Fort Madison, Iowa. The distribution 

 thus indicated, accords fully with the present distribution of the species. 



PiNUS STROBUS. 



Xo previous record of this species has been made, but material sub- 

 mitted to me during the autumn of 1895 showed remarkably well pre- 

 served specimens of this wood from peat bogs in New Brunswick.'^

- These specimens were derived from deep down in peat bogs, and although it is 

 quite likely that they belong to more recent deposits, there is a possibility that they 

 may be Pleistocene. They are, therefore, stated in this connection provisionally.
