172 Report of the Brozvn-Harvard Expedition. 



ted to Mr. J. F. Collins, of Brown University, who is able, 

 as yet, to report on only a portion of them; these, however, 

 are the only portions of my collection in regard to which 

 this report is incomplete. The lichens have been examined 

 and identified by Professor Clara E. Cummings, of Wellesley 

 College. Unfortunately, a large portion of the fungi 

 collected were imperfectly preserved and could not be 

 named. The list of them here given represents, therefore, 

 very inadequately their actual variety in Labrador. I am 

 indebted to Prof. W. G. Farlow, of Harvard University, for 

 their names. To all of these men I wish to express my sin- 

 cere appreciation of their interest and help. 



For a knowledge of the localities from which the various 

 species of phenogamous plants here enumerated have been 

 reported previously, I have consulted the following authori- 

 ties: 



(i) Robert Bell: "Observations on the Geology, 

 Mineralogy, Zoology, and Botany of the Labrador Coast, 

 Hudson's Strait and Bay." Geol. and Not. Hist. Surv. of 

 Can., Report of Progress, DD, 1884. To this are added two 

 names given in a similar report the following year. 



Bell's list, the plants of which were identified by Prof. 

 J. M. Macoun, contains seven columns, of which only three 

 apply to Labrador proper. His columns 4 (Cape Chidley) 

 and 5 (Nachvak, Ford's Harbor, and Nain) are the only ones 

 here considered, column 6 containing only species in the 

 collection of Weiz, more fully reported by Packard. 



(2) A. S. Packard: The Labrador Coast. New York, 

 1891. 



Prof. Packard's list aims to enumerate all the localities 

 reported by all previous observers. The list was compiled 

 by Prof. Macoun.
