On Raised Peat Bogs, On Halophytic Colonies in the Interior of New Brun-

Our knowledge of the Quebec flora is obtained from the following sources: 
a Catalogue of the Plants collected by Dr. ANDREw HOLMES in the Vieinity 
of Montreal about the Year 1821. These plants are in the herbarium of 
MecGill University. Dr. THoMas published a list of plants growing at Riviere 
du Loup and on the Island of Orleans. L’Abb& OvipE BRUNET’s catalogue 
published by the author in 1865 and distributed to friends, gave all the Cana- 
dian plants in the herbarium of Laval University, Quebec. W. S. M. D’URBAN 
collected plants in the year 1858 in the counties of Argenteuil and Ottawa 
and published the list in the Canadian Naturalist and Geologist for 1861. A 
few additions were made in the Canadian Flora (Flore Canadienne) published 
by L’Abbe PRoVAncHER and by Dr. MACLAGAN, who collected near Montreal, 
and at a few other localities in the province of Quebec. The results of MA- 
COUN’s exploration in Gaspe are included, as well, as notes obtained from an 
examination of the various collections in McGill University an the herbarium 
of the Natural History Society of Montreal. This historic account of Quebec 
is nearly complete, if we mention the following papers, viz., J. G. JACK, Native 
Trees and Shrubs about Montreal, Canada; The Flora of Montreal Island by 
Rev. ROBERT CAMPBELL; Some Statistical Features of the Flora of Ontario 
and Quebec by A. T. DRUMMOND and published in the Canadian Naturalist 
(new ser. II, 29); Alpine Flora of the Province of Quebec by J. A. ALLEN; 
Notes on the Flora of Cacouna, P. Q. by Prof. D. P. PENHALLOW. — 
Ontario has been pretty thoroughly worked in almost every district. The eastern 
part by Mr. James FLETCHER and Mr. R. B. WHYTE of the Ottawa Field 
Naturalists’ Club, and by B. BitLLinGs, Esq. in the neighborhood of Prescott 
and Brockville. Jomn MAcoun’s explorations include the Counties of Prince 
Edward, Addington, Hastings, Northumberland, Peterboro and Victoria ine 
the central district; the vicinity of Toronto, the Niagara peninsula, the countty 
along Lake Erie, the north shore of Lake Superior, and the country from 
Thunder Bay to Manitoba. The neighborhood of Hamilton has been well 
explored, by JUDGE LOGIE and J. M. BucHan. The district about London has 
been examined carefully by WILLIAM SAUNDERS and THomAs BURGESS, who 
has also explored from Niagara Falls to Muskoka and Parıy Sound. JOHN 
BELL published a list of Manitoulin Island plants. 
 Dr..ROBERT BELL has collected in the country north of Lake Superior, | 
along the shores of Lake Huron and in the country extending northward to 
James’ Bay along the east coast of Hudson’s Bay, and in the valleys of the 
Nelson and Churchill rivers and the intervening district. WARBURTON PIKE 
in his book The Barren Ground of Northern Canada (London 1891) makes 
frequent mention of the plants of that region and still later EDWARD A:
