The materials of the preceding Table are principally derived from the Botanical Appendix to Captain Franklin's Narrative, which has furnished upwards of 700 of the species. To these, 65 phænogamous plants have been added from Pursh, that were collected at Hudson's Bay by Tilden and others, and are preserved in the Sherardian and Banksian herbaria. The most northerly of Michaux's plants being collected to the southward of latitude 53°, do not enter into our list; and the plants collected by Nelson and Menzies on the North-west coast, being from countries to the westward of the Rocky Mountains, and for the most part too far to the south, are also excluded. Thirty-three species, however, of phænogamous plants, from Mr Brown's Botanical Appendix to Captain Parry's first voyage, have been added to the column headed "Barren Grounds," together with seven from the herbaria made in Captain Parry's second voyage, and a few from Mr Brown's List of the Plants collect

ed by Captain Ross, making the entire list in the Table amount to 840 plants.

The collection of Captains Parry and Ross compensate for the loss of the summer collection of 1821, in Captain Franklin's journey.

The structure of the Table is too simple to require explanation. The Woody Districts extend from latitude 53 or 54° to latitude 64° south, or nearly to Fort Enterprise. The Barren Grounds from latitude 64° to the most northerly parts visited, or to 74°. By adding the plants in the last column to those in either of the two preceding ones, the whole vegetation of that district, as far as detected, is found.

The phænogamous plants in the preceding Table stand thus:

Woody Region. | Barren Grounds.

there being 79 species common to the two districts.
