128 JOHN MACOUN ON THE 
Conioselinum Canadense, Ligusticum Scoticum and Primula farinosa were particularly common. 
In the salt marshes Carex Norvegica, Blysmus rufus and Glycina maritima and distans were 
common. On the top of the grassy bank near the sea were Parnassia parviflora, Erigeron 
acre, Botrychium Lunaria, Calamagrostis stricta, Pogonatum urnigerum, and a variety of others. 
The sea pools were filled with Zostera marina, and the beaches covered with Lathyrus 
maritimus, Mertensia maritima, Arenaria Peploides, Elymas mollis, and many others which need 
not be noted. 
Near Little Fox River the woods were filled with tall-growing and beautiful ferns of 
which the leading forms were Aspidium Filix Mas, A. spinulosum var. dilatatum and A. 
aculeatum var. Braunii. These grew in great clumps and never failed to attract the atten- 
tion of the wayfarer as he clambered up the steep hills on the forest road, or plunged into 
an abyss as he approached some brook or mountain stream which was hurrying to the sea. 
From Pointe Sèche the country became more mountainous and the cliffs along the coast 
correspondingly high, and this character as regards both cliffs and interior continued up 
to Cape Tourville, a distance of over 100 miles. In this distance we passed the mouths of 
of many beautiful trout streams, and in the marsh meadows near the coast collected many 
fine grasses and carices. On the almost perpendicular cliffs many rare northern species 
were obtained, and probably one or two species which seem peculiar to the Gulf coast. 
The following list includes the more interesting species observed. The more Arctic 
species were always found close to the shore and often under cliffs 1,000 feet high :—
