LYCOPODIALES 
1. Lycopopium Setaco L. This interesting species 
was reported by Macoun for high exposed rocks ten 
miles south of Otter head, on the northeastern shore of 
Lake Superior, also north of that locality, while, in 1912, 
Mr. Daily and I collected it on Jackfish Island, along 
the middle northern shore of the lake, about sixty-five 
miles northwest of Macoun’s locality. This island had 
a deep covering of Sphagnum and other mosses together 
with Cranberries, Empetrum nigrum, Vaccinium uligino- 
sum, ete., altogether a remarkable association of far 
northern species. 
2. Lycopopium LucipuLumM Michx. John Macoun 
reports this as very common through northern Ontario. 
Our stations are in protected valleys along streams oF 
shores: Orient Bay, south end of Lake Nipigon; south 
of Nipigon; base of Rabbit Mt., near Stanley; and along 
Lake Superior at Maloney’s Harbor, Magnet Point, and 
channel at Porphyry Island. Our collections do not 
include the species from the northern end of Lake Nipr 
gon nor our inland stations either east or west of there. 
3. Lycopopitum poropHyttum Lloyd & Underw. 
Margin of little pond, west side of Surprise Lake, Thun- 
der Cape. This is the most northwesterly station re- 
ported for the species, which ranges from Newfoundland 
and Quebee to Wisconsin and south to Missouri and 
South Carolina. oe 
4. Lycopoptum inunpatum L. This species, with a 
range from Newfoundland to New Jersey and west to 
Washington and Alaska in cold bogs and on cold sandy 
Shores, was noted by Agassiz along the north shore of 
Lake Superior on his famous cruise in 1848, but it, ev" 
dently, has not often been found in this region. Our 
only collection of it was on a compact, sandy, ope?, but 
somewhat boggy bank of a little creek three miles sout 
of Oscar, along the Canadian Government Railway on¢ 
hundred and five miles northwest of Fort William.
