National Herbarium 
M. 0. Malte, Chief Botanist, attended the Fifth International 
Botanical Congress, held at Cambridge, England, August 16-23. He 
reports that at the congress very substantial progress was made in the 
matter of stabilizing international botanical nomenclature. Sub-com- 
mittees, representing most countries of the world, were appointed to prepare 
amendments and additions to existing international botanical rules of 
nomenclature. Mr. Malte was elected one of three delegates to the 
Canadian sub-committee. 
While in Europe Mr. Malte visited the herbaria of the British Museum, 
the Kew Gardens, the Botanical Museum of Copenhagen, Denmark, and 
the Botanical Museums of Lund, Stockholm, and Upsala, Sweden, for the 
purpose of making investigations mainly in connexion with the preparation 
of “The Flora of Arctic Canada.” 
H. M. Raup concluded a botanical survey of Wood Buffalo park, 
Alberta, begun in 1928. A full report, containing sections on exploratory 
history, topography and soils, geology and physiography, climate, a general 
description of the vegetation, and an annotated list of the flowering plants 
and ferns that are known to occur in the region, is under preparation. 
Jacques Rousseau investigated the vegetation of Nova Scotia east of 
Halifax for the purpose of collecting data for a proposed “Flora of the 
Maritime Provinces.’ During the year Mr. Rousseau submitted a report 
on his botanical investigations in Matapedia valley, Quebec, carried out in 
1929.
