Fasjus ferrucnnea — Beech. 



Juglans cinerea Butternut — Grey. 



Mr. Geo. Trussell, of Pied du Mont, Montreal, showed 

 me a tree which he said was neither butternut nor walnut 

 but perhaps a hybrid between the two. Archie Robert- 

 gon, of Westmount, another good authority, agrees with 

 him. 



I have provisionally named it Juglans Trusselli or 

 Walbutternut. 



Dr. Robert Campbell, to whom I owe all that is of any 

 value in this list, is dubious about it.
