therefore very fitting that we should be the custodians of his 
collection of botanical specimens now reported. 
While an exhaustive examination of the specimens has 
not been made, it may be stated, that it contains many plants 
now probably extinct in this section, and several not reported 
from any other Canadian locality. Among those of greatest 
interest may be mentioned 
Erigenia bulbosa, Nutt. 
Pterospora Andromedea, Nutt. 
Ledum palustre, L. 
Primula Mistassinica, Michx. 
Hypericum Kalmianum, L. 
Sicyos angulatus, L. 
Conopholis Americana, Wallroth. 
Lathyrus Pratensis, L. 
Azolla Caroliniana, Wellch. 
Erodium Cicutarium, L’ Her, taken in Princess 
Square, Hamilton. 
A beautiful little specimen marked ‘‘ Flowering Moss, 
Long Point,’’ probably represents the first authentic collection 
in Canada of Phlox Subulata, L. 
The occurrence of some of the above mentioned plants in 
Ontario has been questioned, but examination of the specimens 
dispels any doubt.
