SALIX LucIDA Muhl.—I am at a loss to understand the dis- 
cussion of the distribution of this species by SCHNEIDER. In his 
discussion of S. /asiandra (p. 16) he says: 
In 1867 ANDERSSON created two new:species: S. arguta and S. lancifolia. 
Laas S. arguta he referred his S. Fendleriana of 1858 as a synonym, but only 
““p. p.”” Nevertheless he cited both specimens upon which he previously based 
his species, and added to them in the first place a specimen collected by Bour- 
GEAU “‘ad fl. Saskatchavan, prope Carlton-house.” This specimen (I have not 
yet seen the type in Herb. K.) probably belongs to S. Jucida, and is identical 
with one of BourGEAU’s specimens from the “Saskatchevan, 1859,” preserved 
in Herb.G. Therefore the typical S. argenta of ANDERSSON consists of three 
different things, namely S. Jucida (Bourgeau)—. 
From this it would seem that SCHNEIDER thinks S. lucida is 
represented in Saskatchewan by two collections of BOURGEAU. 
Under S. lucida he states: 
There is likewise no proof that it occurs in Manitoba, Assiniboia, Saskatche- 
wan, northeastern Alberta, Athabasca, and the Northwest Territories as far 
north as Great Bear Lake. Apparently S. serissima and S. lasiandra have 
been taken for S. lucida, of which the northeasternmost locality from where 
T have seen material is the Hill (or Hayes) River in Manitoba (R. Bell, August 
1880, no. 24585, fr.; O.). But it seems very rare (or represented by S. seris- 
sima) in these regions and in western Ontario, becoming frequent to the east 
of Lake Huron in southeastern Ontario and southern Quebec. 
The first two sentences are contradictory. One says that there 
is no proof of the occurrence of S. lucida in Manitoba, Saskatche- 
wan, etc. The second states that the ‘‘northeasternmost”’ 
biortiiweverinset ?) locality from which S. lucida is known by 
him is in Manitoba, and he cites a specimen in the herbarium of 
the Canadian Geological Survey. Although the writer has seen 
no specimens of S. /ucida from Manitoba, there is a strong proba- 
bility that it occurs in that province. S. serissima, however, is 
much more common there, at least in a narrow-leaved form.
