We follow Professor Sargent, in including the boreal form of our 

 red oak with the more southern one, as we have never seen a series of 

 specimens complete enough to separate them. Not uncommon at 

 Halifax, Pictou and Windsor, and veiy likely many other places in 

 Nova Scotia. (Macrmn.) Eather common in Kent, Northumberland 

 and York counties, N.B, (Foiclefs Cat.) On the St. Lawrence between

 Dawson Eoute at Lake Namakeen on the height of land west of Lake 

 Superior. (Macoun.)
