Gros Morne and similar heights would offer a region new to 

 botanizing and undoubtedly display associations like those of 

 northern Labrador and southern Greenland. 



After covering the Bonne Bay area, the party would return 

 to the railroad, perhaps cover some forest areas of lower eleva- 

 tions on the way south to Port aux Basques, cross to North 

 Sydney, resume the automobiles and if we have a day or two to 

 spare, drive leisurely home through northern Nova Scotia, New 

 Brunswick, and Maine; or return by train as preferred. The 

 cost, by rail all the way, both ways, would be about $140; in- 

 cluding steamer, Newfoundland Railway, meals and incidentals; 

 by automobile from New York to North Sydney, about $30 

 less. 



Those planning to drive, are asked to notify by June 15, the 

 leaders, Raymond H. Torrey and James Murphy, and perhaps 

 also Prof. Joseph H. Copeland, of the College of the City of 

 New York, who will be in Newfoundland in July. Further de- 

 tails will be available later. Strong clothing, adequate water- 

 proofs and precautions against insects such as worked well in 

 the Shickshocks, would be required, but it is not planned to 

 camp out overnight, but to return each night for comfortable 

 shelter. Members will be invited to collect interesting plants for 

 the New York and Brooklyn Botanic Gardens.
