able extent of coast was visited at various points, only 

 two distinctly maritime phcTnogams were found, namely, 

 Plantago tnaritima and Ligusticum Scoticum. This note- 

 worthy paucity of shore vegetation is doubtless due to 

 the generally precipitous coast. The only beaches visited 

 (at Manuels and Placentia) .were composed of coarse 

 pebbles, and entirely sterile. 



The following is a list of the pha^nogams and vascular 

 cryptogams secured on the island. The plan of collection 

 was to take all indigenous and noteworthy introduced 

 plants in considerable quantity for some twenty sets, and 

 these plants were regularly numbered. The commoner 

 introduced plants were taken in small quantity, merely 

 to show distribution, and, as well as some of the rarer 

 plants not found in sufficient quantity to be incorporated 

 in the regular sets, were not numbered. 



Most of the plants have been determined by the staff 

 of the Gray Herbarium, but several specialists have most 

 obligingly rendered important assistance in their particular 

 groups : Prof. Franz Buchenau and Mr. F. Y. Coville in 

 the Junci ; Prof. L. H. Bailey in the Carices ; and Prof. 

 Lamson-Scribner in the Grajninece. The cellular crypto- 

 gams have not as yet been fully determined, and cannot 

 be included in this list. 



Species and varieties marked with an asterisk appear 

 not to have been hitherto recorded from Xewfoundland, 

 although several of them have been discovered upon the 

 French Islands, St. Pierre and Miquelon. Plants from 

 the Exploits River were collected within ten miles of the 

 mouth of Badger Brook, a considerable tributary from 

 the north.
