THE FERX BULLETIN 



5 



the present time much of the land is cleared, but large 

 stretches of the original forest still remain. In the 

 region there are several large bogs, particularly on 

 Campolbello Island, a lake some two miles long and 

 numerous small streams. A locality of particular in- 

 terest is Chamcook Hill, some 800 feet in height, at 

 the base of which on the eastern side is a small patch 

 of deciduous forest, while the slopes are covered by 

 Picea Canadensis and the summit consists of bare trap 

 rock. 



The outstanding feature of the flora as far as 

 Pteridophyta are concerned is the abundance and lux- 

 uriance of various species of Lycopodhim.

 Gray's Manual.
