East coast of Newfoundland, near Ferrykand, Lat.47, Long.52 50* west, 
forming a small patch about three yeards square. The locality is in the same 
part of the island to which the specimens collected by Mr.Carmack, are re¬ 
ferred, namely, the south-east peninsula; and two additional jocalities in this 
peninsula are noticed on Cormack's label, namely, the head of St.Mary's Lay 
and Trepassey Bay or Kafbour. (journal of Botany, Vol.111..page 221.) In a 
w f et springy place, among spruce stumps, in peaty soil, overlying clay, on the 
farm, of Mr. Robertson, St. Ann 's, Inverness Co., Cape Breton Island. (Lawson.) 
Dartmouth Kills near Halifax- Point Pleasant Park, Halifax; East Eay, 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 Renews, about twenty or 
thirty’miles from ^erryland, there is also a quantity of heather, supposed 
to have been derived from Caplin Bay rrov/th, but this is only conjecture.
