■Salsola kali; L., var. tkagus, DC. 



Reported from several localities in Ontario. Abundant 

 •and spreading in Manitoba. 



Euphorbia Peeslii, Guss. 



In cultivated fields near Chatham, Ont., 1894. {John 

 Macoun, Herb. No. 5898.) The only specimens in our 

 herbarium, though reported from Hamilton, Ont., by 

 Buchan. 



Sagittaria, Linn. 



The publication of Mr. Smith's revision of the North 

 American species of Sagittaria and Lophotocarpus in the 

 Sixth Eeport of the Missouri Botanic Garden has so 

 altered the nomenclature and has in a few instances so 

 materially afifected our knowledge of the distribution of 

 "the species known to occur in Canada, that a complete 

 revision of the references given by Prof. Macoun in Parts 

 IV. and V. of his catalogue is necessary. Many additional 

 references are also given, and the descriptions of two easily 

 ■confounded species are copied from Mr. Smith's revision, 

 as it is in the hands of very few Canadian botanists. All 

 our herbarium specimens have been examined by Mr. 

 Smith.
