 Salt Lake, Anticosti ; in a beaver meadow, Huntingdon, Hastings Co. ; 

 Kiladar, Addington Co. ; marsh, Chicken Bay, Lake Huron ; in a

Wet meadows, Bass River, Kent Co., N.B. (Fowler, Cat.) In mea- 

 dows, two miles from Windsor, N.S. ; along the " pipe line" for the 

 water supply ; also in marshy meadows around the ruins of Louisburg, 

 Cape Breton. (Macoun & Burgess.) As in both cases the species was 

 found in cultivated ground, we consider it introduced. The dark 

 purple (Louisburg) or purple margined (Windsor) scale, distinguish 

 it from every form of the next.
