 LABRADOR COAST NORTH OF HAMILTON INLET, FROM 

 THE 25TH OF JUNE TO THE 12TH OF AUGUST, 1901.] 

 -BY A. H. MACKAY, LL. D. 



(Communicated lltth January, 190S.J 



The plants which I present herewith, mounted, were col- 

 lected by Mr. Walter H. Prest, of Halifax, when exploring the 

 Labrador coast north of Hamilton Inlet last summer (1901), 

 between the 25th of June and the 12th of August. The speci- 

 mens were collected merely as flowers to be taken back as 

 mementos of a visit to this far-off region, so that only the more 

 striking portions of the plants, such as could be easily accom- 

 modated between the pages of a magazine, were taken. These 

 portions were characteristic enough, however, to enable the 

 species in nearty every case to be determined. They have also 

 been referred to Professor John Macoun, Dominion Botanist. 

 In the list following I observe the order of the " List of Plants 

 known to occur on the Coast and in the Interior of the Labra- 

 dor Peninsula," compiled by James M. Macoun, and published 

 in the Annual Report of the Geological Survey of Canada, vol. 

 viii., part L., Appendix vi. Nearly all the plants of our list are 

 also on Macoun's list, which is compiled from at least four other 

 lists all except possibly four or five species and varieties. The 

 list is as follows : 



RANCNCULACE^E. Arenaria Groenlandica, Spreng.
