" A few accurate observations at tirst, if followed by larger hsts each 

 succeeding year, will be considered creditable to teachers and schools." ' 



The list is very much larger than that used by the Botanical Club, 

 for it includes 100 double observations, and will sei've for special 

 provincial tables as well as for the Dominion tables which follow. 

 Copies of the same were sent to (he members of the Botanical Club as 

 Circular Ko. 13, rather to show what was being attempted to be done in 

 the province than for Dominion use, as the list was specially adapted 

 to the Atlantic provinces. 



No progress can yet be reported on the recommendation for the 

 formation of complete Provincial Herbaria in the several provinces. The 

 offer of the Curator of the Dominion Herbarium — address : The Curator, 

 Herbarium of the Geological Survey of Canada, Ottawa — to determine 

 and exchange specimens, should be remembered by members of the club. 



There have been twenty-two members who reported " Phonological 

 Observations " noted at as many stations from Yarmouth to Vancouver. 

 Their names and stations follow, with tabular presentations of the obser- 

 vations in the briefest notation possible, on the Dominion schedule. The 

 observations themselves are simply recorded hero to the extent to which 

 they have been made and noted. Criticism upon, discussion of, and 

 inferences from them are left to the initiative of those taking now or, 

 possibly, in a remote future, an interest in them. 



1 Between one and two hundred of these schedules have been already returned 

 fairly filled at the date of going to press.
