The Meenahic of tlie Crees is the most northerly tree that came under our observation. On the Copper- 

 Mine River, within twenty miles of the Arctic Sea, and in lat. 67|°, it attains the heig^ht of twenty feet or 

 more. Its timber is in common use throug^hout the country, and its slender roots, denominated fFatapeh, 

 are indispensable to canoe-makers for sewing the slips of birch-bark together. The resin which it exudes 

 is used for paying over the seams of the canoes, and canoes for temporary purposes are frequently formed of 

 its own bark. It is the only tree that the Esquimaux of the Arctic Sea have access to while growing, and 

 they contrive to make pretty strong bows by joining pieces of its wood together with the sinews of the 

 Rein-deer.

This tree occupies dry sandy soils to the exclusion of all others. It is a handsome tree, with long 

 spreading flexible branches, generally furnished with whorled curved cones of many years' growth. It attains 

 the height of forty feet and upwards in favourable situations, but the diameter of its trunk is greater in pro- 

 portion to its height than in the other pines of the country. In its native situation it exudes much less
