176 Report of the Brown-Harvard Expedition. 



the specimens in my collection, following the number of the 

 specimen. Most of these references are from definite local- 

 ities; a few are recorded merely as from Southern Labrador, 

 and of these the majority were collected in the vicinity of 

 St. Lewis Sound or of Seal Islands. Such terms as "Hebron- 

 Nachvak" mean that the plant occurs at one or the other, 

 or between, the two places. Specimens from Mt. Faunce 

 were collected between 3,500 and 4,400 feet above sea-level 

 at our most northern point. After the initials E. B. D. are 

 given the localities where the plant occurs according to 

 my own observation, unsupported by collected specimens. 

 Finally, after the word "Previously," come former references, 

 the authorities being abbreviated as follows: B :, Bryant; all 

 these are from the basin of the Grand or Hamilton River. 

 BM:, Macoun's list in columns 4 and 5 of Bell's report. 

 F :, Fernald and Sornborger. L :, Macoun's list in column i of 

 Low's report. M :, Macoun's catalogue. P:, Macoun's list 

 in Packard. W :, Waghorne. Later references to the same 

 locality are not given when taken from an earlier source ; and 

 references merely to the "coast of Labrador" or to "Labra- 

 dor" are rarely given when definite localities can be named, 

 because it is often uncertain whether those terms refer to 

 Labrador proper. 



The dates of collection or observation of the plants, to- 

 gether with the comparative position of the stations, can be 

 determined by reference to the list of stations given in Sec- 

 tion n. 



No attempt is made to enumerate all Labrador plants, 

 the list being confined to those observed or collected on this 

 expedition.
