102, GENTIANA AcUTA, Hook. f. 
“On flats, Caribou.” B. 
103. GENTIANA PROPINQUA, Richards. 
Distributed much as H. deflexa. 
104. MENYANTHES TRIFOLIATA, Linn. 
In a letter Mr. Butler mentions this plant as ‘found in small pools 
at Caribou Island and Bonne Espérance. I also found it quite abundant 
on the shores of a pond at Forteau. Probably somewhat sparingly dis- 
tributed along the coast in such places.” 
105. PLEUROGYNE ROTATA, Griseb. 
The plants of this species were furnished by Mr. Butler from Bonne 
Espérance. I found two poor specimens in the interior near the Mis- 
sion house, August 5, hardly then in bloom. Mr. Butler also found it 
‘on the flats at Caribou and shores of Esquimaux River.” 
106. PoLYGONIUM VIVIPARUM, Linn. 
Quite common at Bonne Espérance, August 11, probably so all along 
the coast. 
‘ 
107. EMPETRUM NIGRUM, Linn. 
Common everywhere. 
Respecting the dwarf Berches there appears some confusion. I think, 
however, that the species will stand as I have given them below. 
108. BETULA POPULIFOLIA, Ait. 
Very abundant everywhere in the woods and on sidehills. An abor- 
tive tree seldom over 20 feet high here. (B. papyracea Ait. is rare and 
young here, having been killed by repeated robbings of its bark by the 
Indians for canoe barks.) 
109. BETULA PUMILA, Linn. 
“Ascending stems, not glandula” (Miss Macfarlane, No. 57). 
110. BETULA GLANDULOSA, Michx. 
“Ascending stems glandular.” ‘On hillsides everywhere.” B. 
111. BETULA NANA, Linn. 
‘(Of Europe.)” “A low trailing shrub.” ‘On hillsides every where.” 
B. Reported to me from Old Fort Island. 
112. ALNUS SERRULATA, Ait. 
Rather common in moist ravines and on hillsides at Old Fort and 
probably all along the coast. 
113. ALNUS VIRIDIS, D.C. 
Same as last.
