the Eed Eiver Valley. ( iVatson.) The specimens from Whiskey 

 Island were collected liy Dr. John Bell in 18C6. Other specimens 

 gathered on Burnt Lsland, Lake Nepigon, in 1884, are also referred 

 here by Mr. G. N. Best, Eosemount, New Jersey. Mr. Best, however, 

 believes that both the Nepigon specimens and all my specimens of R. 

 Sayii, belong to R. acicularis, Lindl., or var. Bourgeauiana, Crepin. 



(21.35.) R. Sayii, Schwein; Macoun, Cat. III., 520. 



Whether this rose retains this name, or is placed under some othei-, 

 we now know that it is <>ur most northern rose, and extends from 

 the Gulf of St. Lawrence to Lake .Mistassini, Severn liiver, Upj)er Liard 

 Eiver, and the Lewes Eivei-, a branch of the Yukon, in Lai. 62°. 



(2138.) For R. Woodsii, Wat., read R. Woodsil, Lindl. 



Note. — Mr. G. N. Best, of Roseniount, New .Torsey, has examined all our 

 mounted specimens of the j;enus Itosa, and has made a number of clianges in 

 our arrangemeut of specimens under certain s|)ecies. As he has taken copious 

 notes, and intends to publish them with other notes on roses, we make no 

 changes exoept in the above instances (R. Sayii and R. Engelmanni), and in the 

 tbllowing: R. Cali/ornica and R. micrantha must be cancelled, the latter going 

 to R. rubiyinofa, and the specimens retained in Part. III., 520, under the former, 

 are referred doubtfully to R. pisocarjia.
