APPENDIX F CCXV 



Region VII. (Pictou and Antigonish Counties), W. P. Fraser, B.A., 



Science Master, Pictou Academy. 

 Region VIII, IX and X. (Cape Breton Island), C. L. Moore, M.A., 



Supervisor, Academy and Public Schools, Sydney. 



General Canadian Phenochhoxs, 1908. 



The next table gives the dates throughout Canada of the first ob- 

 servance only of each phenomenon, except in the case of Nova Scotia, 

 where the average dates of the averages of each of the nine regions is 

 given. 



The following observers reported directly to me from the following 

 stations : 



Princeton, British Columbia, Mrs. Hugh Hunter. 



Quesnel, British Columbia, D. H. Anderson. 



Oakbank, Manitoba, Alfred Goodridge. 



Aweme, Manitoba, Xorman Criddle. 



Gait, Ontario, W. Herriot. 



Guelph, Ontario, J. W. Eastham. 



The remaining twcniy-thioe slation:^ reported to the Meteoro- 

 logical Service at 'Poronto, their reports being transmitted by Mr. R. 

 F. Stupart, the director. Only a portion of these reports, however, are 

 entered into the table, because all the species did not correspond with 

 those of the list. In fact, corresponding western species of the same 

 genera have in many cases been entered on the same line as in the case 

 of the violets — the two earliest flowering western s]xx'ies being collated 

 with the two earliest eastern species. 



I am asking numbers of the Club to assist in making a new list, in 

 which species of wider range can be used, and perhaps a smaller number 

 such as has already been worked out by the Meteorological Service, and 

 published complete in the appendix of the Report of the last preceding 

 year. This shorter list should, therefore, be hereafter used for the 

 Phenochrons of Dominion range. 



Very full reports worthy of local and sometime possibly of general 

 publication, have occasionally been made by some observers. These are 

 carefully filed for future use. For instance, the schedule from Aweme, 

 Manitoba, contained over one hundred and forty plants on the list, with 

 evidently accurate double observations of " when first seen " and " when 

 becoming common." 



Ob.tect and Constitution of the Club. 



The Botanical Club of Canada was organized by a committee of 

 section four of the Royal Society of Canada, at its meeting in Mont- 

 real, May 29th, 1891.
