162 GEOLOGICAL SUKVEY OF CANADA. 



C. arctata x flexilis, Bailey. 



C. Knushrnii, Dew. Sill. Journ. 2d. Ser. II., 247, (1846.) 



I agree with Prof. Bailey ia believing that this is a hybrid between 

 C. arctata &nd C. flexilis. Where I gathered the specimens at Kaka- 

 beka Falls, on the Eaministiqua, thirty miles from Fort William, 

 Lake Superior, both of these species were found growing in profusion. 

 Specimens of (7. /e.n7is, sent fi-om Tobique Lake, N.B.. by Wetmore, 

 contained a line clump of C. Knieskemii. It is just possible that after 

 all it is a lax form of C. Jiexilis, as it certainly approaches that species 

 very closely.

 a very long slender beak, which is white and membranous at the tip;
