Although no large zoological accessions were made to the collections 
during the year, numerous small additions were made, which in the aggre- 
gate are important. Thanks are particularly due to Colonel Cortlandt 
Starnes, Commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, for reports 
on the wild life of the north and specimens obtained from the detachments 
stationed in the remote districts, also to Mr. 0. S. Finnie, Director of the 
North West Territories and Yukon Branch, Department of the Interior, 
for similar courtesies, and to Mr. J. B. Harkin, Commissioner, Canadian 
National parks, for various valuable specimens from the National parks, 
including grizzly and black bear, mountain lion, mountain sheep, mule 
deer, and marten. 
National Herbarium 
M. O. Malte engaged in botanical field work chiefly in the Maritime 
Provinces. From June 17 to August 10, with the exception of one week 
spent on Prince Edward Island, he botanized in Chaleur Bay district, 
New Brunswick. Nearly 1,550 well-filled sheets were collected, the 
majority from the coast between Bathurst and Campbellton. Of this 
number there are a total of 250 species and varieties, 180 of which are 
native, which previously were not represented in the National Herbarium 
from the province of New Brunswick. 
The week spent on Prince Edward Island was largely devoted to a 
study of the turf grass-seed growing industry of the province. The Seed 
Branch of the Dominion Department of Agriculture had reported the 
occurrence of a grass at Georgetown which appeared to make excellent 
turf. This had been identified as A. borealis Hn. Upon examination of 
the grass in question, it was found to be Velvet Bent Grass, A. canina L., 
the most valuable lawn grass so far known. It is now being propagated 
for commerce under the direction of the Seed Branch, Dominion Depart- 
ment of Agriculture.
