The locality represented by the flora described in this 

 paper, is embraced in a stretch of six miles on the north 

 shore of the St. Lawrence, between the Murray and Loutre 

 Rivers, County of Charlevoix. The species noted are those 

 that are found in flower or fruit during the months of July 

 and August. Those that come forth in spring and then dis- 

 appear, or that flower later than the end of August, are not 

 embraced in this catalogue, with one or two exceptions.
