Text Appearing Before Image:
May, 1931) The Canadian Field-Naturalist 105 Andromeda Polifolia L.—In muskeg, Thainka Lake, July 11. Ardostaphylos Uva-ursi (L.) Spreng. Bear- berry.—Calling River, May 20; Chipewyan, June 10. This little evergreen occurs nearly everywhere in the region. Noted commonly •along Athabaska River; at many places along our route northward from Lake Athabaska, in- cluding Tazin Lake, Thainka Lake, Soulier Lake, junction of Tazin and Taltson Rivers, and mouth of Taltson River; at Resolution and Smith Portage. On May 30 the plants bore lovely little white flowers, with pink tips, and also fruit of the previous year. Green berries were noted from July 17 (Hill Island Lake) to August 9 (Tsu Lake). Red berries were found on September 10 (Wood Buffalo range). The species flourishes particularly in rather open places on sandy soil. It is nearly always associated with jack pine on sandy ridges, where it forms a dense green carpet of very inviting appearance. The berries seem to be a favourite iood of the Black Bear. Arctostaphylos alpina (L.) Spreng. Alpine Bearberry. — Common in muskegs near Thluicho Lake, July 2. Also noted at Resolution, and irom Fort Smith south- ward into the Wood Buf- ialo range (leaves turned a very deep red, Sep- tember 7). Vaccinium canadense Kalm. Canada Blue- berry.— Tazin Lake, July 6. Vaccinium uliginosum L. Bog Bilberry.— Thainka Lake, July 11; mouth of Taltson River, August 16. Vaccinium Vitis-Idsea Xi. var. minus Lodd. Mountain Cranberry. —Mouth of Chariot River, June 28. Fre- quently noted in other places between Lake Athabaska and Great Slave Lake, including Tazin Lake, Hill Island Lake, Soulier Lake (both green and red berries, July 22), junction of Tazin and Taltson Rivers, Taltson River below Tethul River, Resolution, and Wood Buffalo range; also Athabaska River at Middle Rapid. Fre- quently found in association with Arctostaphylos Uva-ursi, but perhaps less abundant. Primula mistassinica Michx.—Mouth of Chariot River, June. Androsace septentrionalis L.—Chipewyan, June 18. Glaux maritima L.—Salt lick. Wood Buffalo range, September 9; along a brackish tributary of Salt River, September 12. Apocynum androsxmifolium L. Spreading Dog- bane.—Shore of Hill Island Lake, July 15. Ap- parently the same species noted at Soulier Lake and at Tthikethe Gorge, Tazin River. Collomia linearis Nutt.—Lower Taltson River, August 12.
