These have not been discussed in the list. They include Rosa multi- flora, Lonicera japonica, and Prunus persica. The flora of Pelee Island is also somewhat paralleled by the fauna. The Small-mouthed Salamander {Ambystoma texanum), the Blue Racer {Coluber constrictorfoxi), the Red-bellied Woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus), and Blan- chard's Cricket Frog (Acris crepitans blan- chardi) occur in Canada as well established populations on Pelee Island only. These species are widespread in the central Mississippi-Ohio lowlands, but very rare or absent elsewhere north of the international boundary. Our floristic additions are recorded in the form of an annotated list, dealing first with vascular plants new to Canada, and second with recent observations of rare species. A short dis- cussion of the floristic and phytogeographic significance of each species is provided. A table summarizing other additions to the flora of Pelee and East Sister Islands and including whether the species are new to the flora of the Erie Archipelago is also included. Our major collecting sites are shown in Figure 1; others are specified in the annotated list which follows. Habitats are briefly noted; more details in connection with the present paper can be obtained from the Canadian Botanical Association's Survey of the Rare and En- dangered Plants of Canada.
