298 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OP CANADA. 



Excluded Species. 

 Leucothoe racemosa, Qi-ay. 



Andromeda racemosa, Pursh. Fl. I., 294. 



Pursh credits this species, also to Canada, but as it cannot possibly 

 be witbin our limits I exclude it. 



359. CALLUNA, Salisb. (HEATHER.) 



(1385.) C. vulgaris, Salisb. 



C. Atlantica, Seem. Journ. Bot. IV., 305. , 



East coast of Newfoundland, near Fei*ryland, Lat. 4*7°, Long. 52° 50' 

 west, forming a small patch about three yards square. The locality is 

 in the same part of the island to which the specimens collected by 

 Mr. Cormack, are referred, namely, the south-east peninsula ; and two 

 additional localities in this peninsula are noticed on Cormack's label, 

 namely, the head of St. Mary's Bay and Trepassy Bay or Harbor. 

 {Journal of Botany, Vol. III., page 221.) In a wet springy place, among 

 spruce stumps, in peaty soil, overlying clay, on the farm of Mr. 

 Eobertson, St. Ann's, Invei'ness Co., Cape Breton Island. (Lawson.) 

 Dartmouth Hills near Halifax ; Point Pleasant Park, Halifax ; Bast 

 Bay, Cape Breton Island, in considerable quantity ; Caplin Bay, two 

 miles from Perryland, which is about thirty-five miles south of St. 

 John's, there is a bed of heather, of no great extent but healthy and 

 flourishing. At Eenews, about twenty or thirty miles from Perryland, 

 there is also a quantity of heather, supposed to have been derived from 

 Caplin Bay growth, but this is only conjecture. (Lawson in Transac- 

 tions of Nova Scotia Institute of Natural Science, Vol. IV., page 167.)
