II. Species common to the Rockies and the Canadian Zone 
The plants common to the Rockies and to the Canadian Zone 
of the East consist either of eastern species, whose ranges extend 
west into the Rockies, or of Rocky Mountain species which have 
invaded the East. The distribution of the former in the Rockies 
is very similar to that of the transcontinental species just treated. 
Some of them -have followed the northern woods, others the 
watercourses across the plains. The distribution area of some 
reaches the Southern Rockies, while that of others stops in north- 
ern Wyoming, in northern Montana, or in the Canadian Rockies. 
Among the Rocky Mountain species which have emigrated east, 
some have reached the Lake Superior region, while others are 
found as far east as the Gaspé Peninsula of Quebec.
