By Dr. Robert Bell. (Read before the Societij at Edinhurgh and Glasgow, in March.) {With a Map.) Introduction. The writer lias studied the geographical distribution of the forest trees of Canada for the last forty years, and during all that time he has had exceptional opportunities for observation, having been engaged each year in exploring, in connection with the Government Geological Survey, one part or another of the region represented on the accompanying map; and, in addition to this extensive personal observation, he has collected much information on the subject from a great number of other travellers. The result has been to ascertain, with considerable accuracy, the limits of distribution of all our native trees from the Atlantic Ocean as far Avest as the prairie regions. Trek-Line Map. In 1873 lie prepared a large map showing the northern limits of the principal trees in the four original provinces of the Dominion, and a reduction of this sheet was published in the report of the Montreal Horticultural Society and Fruit Growers' Association for 1879. The timber-tree map accompanying his official report for 1880, published by tlie Geological Survey in 1882, gives the general northern limits of thirty of our principal forest trees east of the Rocky mountains. The tliirty species whose boundaries are shown with greater accuracy on the map accompanying the present paper embrace most of the same trees ; but a few substitutions have been made in order to introduce other species of more general interest without increasing the total number ..'. v.
