Sevi'ral new |.l .iits were found b}' members, but at a distance too great to be 

 added to tlie list ; as tbey will probably be found in this locality, tbeir named 

 are here nitntioned as a guide : At Paquette's Rapids, Sagittaria puaUla, Nutt., 

 Helenium autuinnale, L., Eriocaulon septangular e-, With. ; at Montebello, Allium. 

 Schoeiwjirasum, L., C'onvallaria majalis, L , and Arahis hesperidoides, Gray 



Before closing the report we would urge upon each Botanist the necessity of 

 a more systematic method of work. If each would take a particular locality and 

 prepare a list of all plants growing there, the Club would soon be possessed of 

 the most valuable information. We would further urge all to make notes of the 

 work done and prepare a report for the leaders at the close of the season. A few 

 have done so this year but the majority have neglected this duty. We would 

 advise those about entering the study to commence work at once, by learning 

 the system upon which the science is based and examining all collections they 

 have access too, thus becoming familiar with the work they intend to pursue ; 

 and we would ask all to apply freely to the leaders whenever aid or informat'.oti 

 is required. It must be borne in mind that they are appointed for use only, and 

 are to be looked upon as Club property,
