fitted to make studies in this line; consequently, we collected 

 but very few specimens. One among them, however, 

 turned out to be of interest. Dr. Packard reports upon it 

 as follows : * 



"Last summer, Prof. E. B. Delabarre, during his ex- 

 pedition to Northern Labrador, observed and collected some 

 locusts, and kindly presented me with three specimens. 

 One is from Nachvak, collected at a point two miles inland 

 from the harbor, and two others at Cape Mugford, directly 

 on the coast, at a point 300 to 400 feet above the level of the 

 sea. The locusts were common locally, in spots. Dr. Scud- 

 der has kindly identified them as Melanoplus extremus juniiis. 

 This is its first occurrence in the Labrador peninsula, the 

 species occurring throughout British America and on the 

 summit of Mt. Washington, N. H." 



{g) Botany. — Botanical collections were made in a 

 great many localities, and many records were made of the 

 growths in localities whose varieties were not fully collected. 

 Though the writer can lay no claim to skill in this science, 

 yet it was possible for him to identify a large number of the 

 more common plants; and whenever there was any doubt, 

 specimens were preserved. The plants of this collection 

 have been submitted to various authorities for determina- 

 tion. A list of them, containing very nearly three 

 hundred names, to which the unexamined mosses are yet 

 to be added, is given in the next section. Most of these 

 have been reported previously as occurring in Labrador. A 

 considerable addition is made by us, however, to the list of 

 definite localities; and over twenty species of phenogamous
