298 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OP CANADA. 



Excluded Species. 



Leucothce racemosa, Gray. 



Andromeda racemosa, Pursh. Fl. L, 294. 



Pursh credits this species, also to Canada, but as it cannot possibly 

 be within our limits I exclude it. 



359. CALLUNA, Salisb. (HEATHER.) 



(1385.) C. vulgaris, Salisb. 



C. Atlantica, Seem. Journ. Bot. IV., 305. 



East coast of Newfoundland, near Ferryland, Lat. 4T, Long. 52 50' 

 west, forming a small patch about three yards square. The locality is 

 in the same part of the island to which the specimens collected by 

 Mr. Cormack, are referred, namely, the south-east peninsula ; and two 

 additional localities in this peninsula are noticed on Cormack's label, 

 namely, the head of St. Mary's Bay and Trepassy Bay or Harbor. 

 (Journal of Botany, Yol. III., page 221.) In a wet springy place, among 

 spruce stumps, in peaty soil, overlying clay, on the farm of Mr. 

 Robertson, St. Ann's, Inverness Co., Cape Breton Island. (Lawson.) 

 Dartmouth Hills near Halifax ; Point Pleasant Park, Halifax ; East 

 Bay, Cape Breton Island, in considerable quantity ; Caplin Bay, two 

 miles from Ferryland, which is about thirty-five miles south of St. 

 John's, there is a bed of heather, of no great extent but healthy aad 

 nourishing. At Eenews, about twenty or thirty miles from Ferryland, 

 there is also a quantity of heather, supposed to have been derived from 

 Caplin Bay growth, but this is only conjecture. (Lawson in Transac- 

 tions of Nova Scotia Institute of Natural Science, Vol. IV., page 167.)
