acteristic feature. (No. 43; determined by Professor H. M. 
Tall.) 
Arenaria peploides var. major Hook. (Ammodenia peploides 
major Piper.) Beach Sandwort. 
The gravelly beaches were covered with mats of this weed 
wherever the rye-grass had failed to take possession. (No. 338.) 
Aconitum delphinifolium DC. Monkshood. 
Gathered at the head of Port Nell Juan. (No. 50.) 
Aquwilegia formosa Fisch. 
The columbine occurs in the littoral belt. Specimens are 
from Hanning Bay, Montague Island. (No. 24.) 
Sedum roscum Scop. Stonecrop. 
Found chiefly on Montague Island above timber-line, growing 
on rock ledges or steep hillsides. 
Ribes bracteosum Douel. Stink Currant. 
Flourishes best on snow-slides or land-slides where it often 
covers large areas as a pure growth. In these places it is asso- 
ciated with the shrubby alder, usually forming a dense mat about 
the edges of the alder patches. Together with the salmonberry, 
it is one of the first shrubs to appear on denuded side-hills. 
This species follows the alder everywhere, accompanying it along 
all water courses. It is, however, more generally distributed and 
occupies considerable areas in the coniferous forests. (No. 16.) 
Ribes triste Pall. Currant. 
Found growing in the littoral zone. (No. 20.) 
Geum calthifolium Smith. 
Collected on Hawkins Island. (No. 9.) 
Geum macrophyllum Willd. 
Perhaps of general distribution, but the only preserved speci- 
mens are from Montague Island. (No. 40.) 
Spiraea pectinata T. & G. 
A common alpine species on Montague Island. (No. 34.) 
Aruncus sylvester Kostel. Goatsbeard. 
Observed seattered along the bluffs about Hanning and Mac- 
leod bays, Montague Island, and along streams in the forest at 
Port Nell Juan. (No. 51.) 
Rubus spectabilis Pursh. Salmonberry.
