The copy filmed here has been reproduced thanks
to the generosity of:

Library

The images appearing here are the best quality
possible considering the condition and legibility
of the original copy and in keeping with the
filming contract specifications.

Original copies in printed paper covers are filmed
beginning with the front cover and ending on
the last page with a printed or illustrated impres-
sion, or the back cover when appropriate. All
other original copies are filmed beginning on the
first page with a printed or illustrated impres-
sion, and ending on the last page with a printed
or illustrated impression.

The last recorded frame on each microfiche
shall contain the symbol —^ (meaning "CON-
TINUED"), or the symbol y (meaning "END"),
whichever applies.

Maps, plates, charts, etc., may be filmed at
different reduction ratios. Those too large to be
entirely included in one exposure are filmed
beginning in the upper left hand corner, left to
right and top to bottom, as many frames as
required. The following diagrams illustrate the
method:

GROWING WITHOUT CULTIVATION
... IN THE COWICHAN DISTRICT
.... VANCOUVER ISLAND. B. C.

Comp*' id by R. Glendenning

Price 25c.

NOTE.

The following list ia the precursor of a aerie* cover-
ing all branches of Natural Hiatory which the Club hopes
to publiah in due courae.

I This list makea no pretence at being complete, nof in
the present chaotic ttate of botanical nomencbkture, will
it give satisfaction to all, bat it ia hoped that it may be
helpful to the amateur botanist and be the foundation of
a complete list, the reault of further reaearches.

While the author was much inclined to be eclectic in
the nomenclature, the list follows that of Henry's Flora
of Southern British Colombia, not on account of its
accuracy, but on account of that Flora being in most
general use. .\

T^ Professors John liacoun, J. M. Macoun, and J.
Davidson, my thanks are due for their valued assistance
in identifying difficult ap^ctea, and to aeveral members
of the Club for kindly bringiffg to my notice new and
uncommon foeciea. To Mr. G. Buchanan Simpson, of
Cowichan take, I am also indebted for a list of alpine
and subalpine species found in that locality and which
is incorporated herein.

The district included in this list is a natural one. and
may be deicribed roughly as the valley* of the Chemaimis,
Cowichan and Koksihh Rivers, from Chenuinas south to
Shawnigan and west to Cowichan Lake.
