IX.—LaABraADoR PLANTS [COLLECTED BY W. H. PREST ON THE 
LABRADOR COAST NORTH OF HAMILTON INLET, FROM 
THE 25TH OF JUNE TO THE 12TH oF AUGuST, 1901.] 
By A A Mackay, LED. 
(Communicated 14th January, 1902.) 
The plants which I present herewith, mounted, were col- 
lected by Mr. Walter H. Prest, of Halifax, when exploring the 
Labrador coast north of Hamilton Inlet last summer (1901), 
between the 25th of June and the 12th of August. The speci- 
mens were collected merely as flowers to be taken back as 
mementos of a visit to this far-off region, so that only the more 
striking portions of the plants, such as could be easily accom- 
modated between the pages of a magazine, were taken. These 
portions were characteristic enough, however, to enable the 
species in nearly every case to be determined. They have also 
been referred to Professor John Macoun, Dominion Botanist. 
In the list following I observe the order of the “ List of Plants 
known to occur on the Coast and in the Interior of the Labra- 
dor Peninsula,” compiled by James M. Macoun, and published 
in the Annual Report of the Geological Survey of Canada, vol. 
viii., part L., Appendix vi. Nearly all the plants of our list are 
also on Macoun’s list, which is compiled from at least four other 
lists—all except possibly four or five species and varieties. The 
list is as follows: 
RANUNCULACES. Arenaria Groenlandica, Spreng. 
Arenaria peploides, Linn. 
Stellaria longipes, Goldie. 
Stellaria humifusa, Rottb.
