 sects; the subject relating to a vacation trip made during the 

 past summer to those regions.

 Canadian side of the Niagara River gorge, a place which, 

 though sadly neglected by travellers, is exceedingly beautiful 

 and affords a good opportunity for collecting, as the vegetation 

 is exceptionally rich. He further spoke of his visits to Toronto, 

 the Thousand Islands, Montreal, Ottawa, Quebec, the Saguenay 

 River and Tadousac, a small village at the junction of the 

 Saguenay and St. Lawrence, where a two weeks' stop had been 

 made. He described the topography and the pursuits and 

 primitive life of the French inhabitants of that region. Insects 

 were fairly abundant and especially interesting, as showing a 

 faunal similarity with the sub-alpine region of the White
