NOTES. 
Viola striata, Ait. In Professor Macoun’s Catalogue of Canadian Plants, 
this is stated on the authority of the late Judge Logie to be common near 
Hamilton. I have never found it, and I am gure that it is not common. 
Lathyrus venosus, Muhl., occurs at St. Thomas. 
Cichorium Intybus, L., has naturalized itself at Port Rowan and Toronto. 
Mimulus Jamesii, Torr., is abundant along the stream flowing into Grenadier 
Pond near the Humber. 
Phlox subulata, L. I can confirm, from personal observation, the fact which 
Mr. Wilkins was, I believe, the first to discover, that this species is indigen- 
ous in the County of Norfolk. ‘ 
Rumex sanguineus, L., occurs at London and Barrie. 
Ulmus racemosa, Thomas, occurs at St. Thomas. 
Juniperus Sabina, L., var. procumbens, Pursh., which I formerly reported as 
occurring, proves to be J. Virginiana, L. 
In the discussion which followed, Mr. Geo. E. Shaw, Mr. 
T. Mackenzie, Mr. Henry Montgomery, Mr. James Bain, jun., 
and the reader of the paper took part. 
Mr. Fred. Phillips read a paper on “ The Antiquity of the 
Negro Race,” the object of which was to show that the negro 
race made its appearance before the white races. 
A discussion ensued, in which the President, Mr. John Not- 
man, and Mr. Montgomery took part.
