assign a date to Hrythronium, though one of the latter notes 
Bicuculla, but in the Highlands this is changed, as four out of 
five report at least two and one of them all three species. 
Only one Coast Section in Pictou County records any of these, 
but it has two, Lrythronium and Sanguinaria. An interesting 
isolated fact may be related here. At Brown’s Point, on the 
I. C.R., just outside Pictou, Hrythronium grows in the open, 
and not one hundred yards from salt water. It is supposed to 
have been accidentally introduced by students bringing speci- 
mens from their homes on East or West River for class 
examination at the Academy. 
Two Pictou Lowland Stations report Sanguinaria, one the 
others also; but nine out of fifteen Highland Sections have 
Erythronium, and six of these at least one of the others. 
East of Pictou County it is very doubtful whether these 
species are any longer co-existent. From Antigonish the only 
reference to Hrythronium is clearly an error for Clintonia, 
while beyond the Strait there is not at present any sufficient 
proof of its occurrence. 
One of the Highland Districts of Antigonish reports 
Sanguinaria and Bicuculla Cuculluria, another Sanguinaria 
and B. Canadensis (Goldie) Millsp. The latter is very likely to 
have been the more common species, as this error is rather 
frequent. But from Richmond and Cape Breton Counties there 
is no mention of any of these, though four out of the five Inver- 
ness stations on the Bras d’Or Slope report Bicuculla and one of 
these Sanguinaria as well, anda one of the two Victoria schools 
to send in a schedule assigns a date to B. Canadensis. 
Finally on the Gulf Slope, the only Lowland and one of the 
three Coast sections report Bicuculla, the former Sanguinaria 
also. 
These facts seem to warrant the conclusion that, with the 
exception noted, all three of these species are regularly found 
upon most of the river intervales in this district, beyond the 
reach of salt water. In most of the Coast and many of the Low- 
land districts cultivation has so far proceeded that they must
