the Eed Eiver Valley. ( iVatson.) The specimens from Whiskey 

 Island were collected by Dr. John Bell in 1866. Other specimens 

 gathered on Bm.-nt Island, Lake Ifepigon, in 1884, are also refen-ed 

 here by Mr. G. N. Best, Eosemount, Kew Jersey. Mr. Best, however, 

 believes that both the Nepigon specimens and all my specimens of B. 

 Sayii, belong to B. acicularis, Lindl., or var. Bourgeauiana, Crepin. 



(2135.) R. Sayii, Schwein; Macoun, Cat. III., 520. 



Whether this rose retains this name, or is placed under some othei-, 

 we now know that it is our most northern rose, and extends from 

 the Gulf of St. Lawrence to Lake Mistassini, Severn Eiver, Upper Liard 

 Eiver, and the Lewes Eiver, a branch of the Yukon, in Lat. 62°.

NoTK. — Mr. G. N. Best, of Eosemount, New Jersey, has examined all our 

 mounted specimens of the genus Rosa, and has made a number of changes in 

 our arrangement of specimens under^certain species. As he has taken copious 

 notes, and intends to publish them with other notes on roses, we make no 

 changes except in the above instances (iJ. Sayii and R. Engelmanni), and in the 

 following : R. Californica and R. micrantha must be cancelled, the latter going 

 to R. Tuhiginom, and the specimens retained in Part. IIIi, 520, under the former, 

 are referred doubtfully to R. pisocarpa-
