 Introduction. 



The compiler of these notes makes no claim to be a botanist, 

 but he has for some years past been collecting botanical speci- 

 mens of Labrador and Newfoundland plants, which have been 

 named for him by competent authorities, chiefly, as to flowering 

 and higher cryptogamic plants and mosses, by Professor Macoun, 

 of Ottawa. He has also consulted the publications of others who 

 have written on the subject, and has collected information from 

 all sources open to him. 



The authorities used and referred to by him in the compilation 

 of these notes are chiefly the following : — 



1. Mr. Reeks' " Notes on the Flora of Newfoundland" a paper 

 read before the Linnaean' Society in 1869. 



2. Dr. Bell's '•' Plants of the West Coast of Newfoundland," in 

 the Canadian Naturalist of September, 1869, and March, 1890. 



3. Mr, Cormack's "Journey across Newfoundland" in 1822.. 



4. Professor Macoun's valuable Catalogue of Canadian Plants,. 

 which includes those of Labrador and Newfoundland. 



5. The Rev. S. R. Butler's list of Labrador plants, which, with 

 some others collected by Miss Macfarlane, also named by Pro- 

 fessor Eaton, of New Haven, appeared in the Canadian Natural- 

 ist of September, 1870, p. 350. 



6. The Flora Miquelonensis of Messrs. E. Delamere, F. Renauld 

 and F. Cardot furnishes me with the plants of St. Pierre and the 

 adjacent French Islands oft' the southern coast of Newfoundland.
