NORTHERN LIMIT OF WILD GRAPE VINES—LAWSON. 109 
Fredericton, as at the Falls of the Nashwakasis, and it is quite 
common on the intervales and islands of the St. John River above 
this place, but I have never made any special notes regarding its 
occurrence. I think it likely that Mr. Matthew may be able to 
tell you something more about it, especially in the southern 
counties. 
I am, Sir, &e., 
I. W. BAILEY. 
Lo the Editor of the Morning Chronicle: 
Sir,—In regard to Professor Lawson’s enquiry about localities 
vhere the wild grape vine is found on the Atlantic coast of this 
yart of America, I would beg to state that I have studied the 
»otany of Prince Edward Island carefully for years and have 
ever seen anything of this plant here. 
There is apt to be a great incorrectness in the reports of 
anskilled observers on plants. Some species of our wild brambles 
which have a climbing habit, as Rubus occidentalis, might be 
mistaken for Vitis. 

Yours, ; 
FRANCIS BAIN.
