274 Canadian Record of Science. 



Note. — These descriptions of the several forms of Sugar 

 Maples have been reprinted from Dr. Trelease's Monograph 

 in 5th Animal Eeport of Missouri Botanical Garden, and 

 space is given to them as they change very materially our 

 knowledge of these trees, and by printing the descriptions 

 in full it is hoped that Canadian botanists will be led to 

 carefully observe the sugar maples in their vicinity.
