Partridge Island, Parsboro, N.S. (JTou:) Eather uncommon at 

 Oti.iwa, but extending both above and below the city. {Fletclier, Fl. 

 Oti.) This species is confined in Ontario to rocky river banks, ascend- 

 ing all the rivers entering the St. Lawrence and groat lakes between 

 Moi\treal and Pai-ry Sound. Very abundant in the Bay of Quinte dis- 

 trict, covering lai-ge ai-eas along its shores, even at the present time. 

 Although ascending the rivers for many miles, it is never found away 

 from their rocky shores, and on the Niagai*a peninsula, where it is still 

 tolerably abundant, it delights in rocky soil. (Macoun.) Port Col- 

 borne, Point Abino and Fort Erie, Ont. (David F. Day.) Sandy and 

 rocky ground, Kingston, and at Niagara Falls, Ont. (Burgess.') This 

 tree crosses the St. Lawrence about mid-way between Montreal and 

 Lake Ontario, and reaches Lake Huron at Pai-ry Sound. (R. Bell.) 



(2068.) J. communis, Linn. Common .Juniper. 



This species, under either its common or alpine form, is found I'rom 

 the bleak rocks of Labrador to the coast of the Pacific. At one time 

 on an exposed shore, at another on a mountain top, beside the cat- 

 ract, and again on the shore of a lonely lake, it greets the wanderer 

 wherever he may be, and yet it is nowhere abundant. On Point 

 Pleasant, Halifax, N.S. ; also Sydney, Cape Breton Island. (Laicson & 

 How.) Dry pastures and barren hills, St. John Co., N.B. (Fowler's 

 Cat.) Charlotte, King's Co., N.B. (Hay.) Frequent on the shores 

 of the St. Lawrence Eiver and Gulf from the Island of Orleans to the 

 Straits of Belle Isle. (St. Cyr.) Throughout Ontario and west- 

 Avard across the prairie to the Eock}' Mountains, where it assumes the 

 next form. (Macoun.) North fork of Old Man Eiver, foot-hills, 

 Eocky Mountains. (Dawson.) In the most exposed and sterile situa- 

 tions. {Hooker.)
