plants are now reported for the first time from the Labrador 

 coast. One of the latter has never before been known east 

 of Manitoba; four are reported by us further north and one 

 further south than their previously-announced limits; nine 

 are new to the coast, but have been found previously in 

 other parts of the Labrador peninsula; while two others 

 have been reported thus far only vaguely from the "coast," 

 without definite locality. Of plants previously recorded 

 from definite localities, two have their known limits now ex- 

 tended somewhat to the north, and one to the south; while 

 nearly fifty have been reported previously by a single 

 authority only, and are now confirmed. Of the mosses, nine 

 are new to the Labrador peninsula, and eleven are now first 

 given definite locality on the coast; while nearly half the 

 specimens are yet to be examined. Seven new hepatics are 

 named, three of them, as yet, doubtfully. Five lichens are 

 new to the country. Of the fungi, all, so far as can be 

 determined from the authorities consulted, are new. For 

 greater detail concerning these matters, reference must be 

 made to the following section. 



(h) Ornithology. — Henry W. Bigelow kept a careful 

 list of all the birds he saw, and of the localities where they 

 occurred. His month on shore at Port Manvers made 

 possible an exhaustive study of that locality. None of his 

 birds are new, but several are rare on the Labrador coast. 

 His report will be found in Section IX.* 



(i) Economic Mineralogy. — Adams and McCornick 

 gave particular attention to the search for mineral deposits 



* A still later report by Mr. Bigelow, identical in its list of birds with 

 the one given in Section IX, will be found in Auk, 1902, Vol. XXVII, 

 pp. 24-31.
