By RoBEBT Campbbll, D.D., M.A. For some years I have folt, in common with others inter- ested in our local Natural History, that it is a pity we have not a complete list of the plants growing on our own island, and when giving a paper in March, 1891, on the Summer Wild Flowers of Great Britain, I volunteered to do what I could personally to repair the want, an undertaking which the Natural History Society was pleased to approve. Throughout the season of 1891, I kept my eyes open where ever I chanced to be on the island, in the prosecution of duty or in pursuit of recreation, and I succeeded in securing specimens of the following plants, which I have mounted and presented to the museum of the Natural History Society. After I had entered on my voluntary task, the Botanical Club of Canada was formed, during the sitting of the Royal Society in this city in 1891, and it has mapped out the Dominion for Botanical purposes, assigning each county or group of counties to certain well known natur- alists who are asiced to take the oversight of the botanical research in their respective districts, securing the co-opera- tion of local workers in this department, cheering them on and directing their enthusiasm. Anything I can do in connection with this joint movement, I shall bo glad to at/ten^pt, and if the results I roach can be utilized by the Botanical Club, I put them entirely at its disposal. On the other hand, as one person cannot be expected to fall upon everything that grows on the island, I crave the help of every botanist in the district in the effort to secure us com- plete a catalogue as possible of our local flora. A well assorted cabinet of the plants growing around the city, placed in the museum of the Natural History Society, and thus put within reach of all among our citizens that are interested in this delightful science, would be a great boon ; and the wonder is that an attempt to secure it has not been long ago made. C/ff 210 Canadian Record of Science. I am not overlooking the Holmes' collection, nor am I unmindful of its great scieniific value. But it should not be forgotten that seventy years have elapsed since it was made, and very great and important changes must have come over the flora of the district in the interval. Besides, Dr. Holmes' Herbarium did not profess to be solely a Montreal island collection, much less did it claim to present a com- plete catalogue of the plant-life of the island. The bulk of the specimens which he preserved for the instruction of later generations, as might be expected, were indeed gathered in the neighborhood of the city, picked up, many of them, doubtless, while he was prosecuting his profes- sional work. To this extent, it may be taken as a complete Montreal collection, that it represents the island plants which came under Dr. Holmes' notice, or of which he be- came possessed. Other places are credited occasionally as the fiabitat of the specimens embraced, but whenever a plant was found in or near the city, Montreal was invari- ably first mentioned among the localities in which it grew. When Montreal is not credited with a plant, it may there- fore be taken for granted that Dr. Holmes never came across the plant on the island. It will be interesting to note how far the flora of Montreal to-day corresponds with that of seventy years ago ; and I have compared the collection I have so far made with the Herbarium of Dr. Holmes, with the object of finding out what changes, if any, have come about. Or rather I have taken the catalogue of the Her- barium, prepared by the late Prof. James Barnston, and published in *• The Canadian Naturalist and Geologist," for April, 1859, as the basis of comparison ; and I shall assume that Prof. Barnston's nomenclature is correct and in agree- ment with the classification of Gray, as it claimed to be.
