420 EXPLORATIONS. 
Should you desire, I shall be happy next season to give you a few of the 
Indian legends, as well as some account of the geology and fauna of my journey. 
The flora, I do not sufficiently understand to say anything about, although, 
from the great variety of plants that I saw, there must have been many inter- 
esting to botanists. When at Red river, I read a paper by Mr. Barnston, on 
the growth of the onion on the banks of the Porcupine river, and I have much 
pleasure in being able to confirm his statements, that it is not the real onion, 
but the chive that grows in such abundance there.
