Pyrola rotimdi folia, Salix Grmilandica, Salix Labradorica. 

 Six are entirely new to Labrador; one of them (Carex fili- 

 folia) has never been known east of Manitoba; one {Carex 

 compacta) now appears southward of its usual limits, Green- 

 land and Arctic America; four (Dicentra Canadensis, Poly- 

 gonum littorale, Festuca rubra, Lycopodium lucidulmn) are now 

 extended to the north of their previous limits. 



Of those which were already known on the Labrador 

 coast, a few appear in localities considerably beyond the ones 

 where they have been found before. Thus, for Poa alpina, 

 Cape Chidley or Nain was previously the southern limit, but 

 it is now found on Hare Island, almost in the extreme south; 

 while two (Calmagrostis Canadensis, Hierochloe borealis), 

 which were before unknown north of Hamilton Inlet or 

 Hopedale, are now found as far north as Port Manvers or 

 Nachvak. Besides these, there are among the phenogamous 

 plants about fifty that have been reported previously only 

 from a singe locality, or by a single authority. 



In all, about 500 specimens are included in the collec- 

 tion. These have yielded the list given below, which in- 

 cludes not far from 300 names, of which 45 are from identi- 

 fications made b)'^ myself alone, unconfirmed by specimens 

 preserved. The latter will be easily detected in the list from 

 the lack of numbers referring to specimens, and cannot be 

 considered so authoritative as the others. 



In the list that follows, an asterisk (*) preceding a name 

 means that the plant has not been previously definitely re- 

 ported from the Labrador coast; a dagger (f) means that it 

 has been previously reported only from a single locality or 

 by a single authority. 



In the local references, first are eiven the localities of all
