COLLECTED BY CAPT. FEILDEN AND MR. HART. 137 
2. ABIEssp. (One species.) 
One piece of wood of small size; but probably a portion of a 
larger stem cut and rounded by man, belongs to the genus Abies 
(C) By comparison with other sections, it seems to come very 
close to Abies pectinata. The specimen is marked “ Discovery 
Bay, 20 feet above sea-level, Aug. 1875, Captain Feilden." The 
annual rings of wood are large and well developed. 
3. PrcEA or Larıx. (Three species.) 
Seven pieces of drift wood are to be referred to one or other of 
these genera; but, owing to the absence of the bark, it is impos- 
sible to decide definitely. One of the specimens (D) comes very 
near Larix, and differs from all the other woods in the collection. 
P Larix sp. This is the specimen D, marked “ Dumb.bell 
Harbour." The stem has been large, and is well preserved, and, 
by comparison with named sections of Lariz, seems to come very 
near L. europea. 
P ProgA sp. Two specimens seem to belong to one species, viz. 
E, * Label incomplete. Upon Floe. Sept. 12, 1875," and F, 
“On Floe, lat. 82? 30' N. Capt. Feilden.” These are portions 
of well-preserved woods, white and firm, and having the same 
microscopical characters. They are probably not portions of the 
same stem, as I believe E is almost certain to be from Mr. 
Hart’s collection, while F is Captain Feildef’s. The annual 
rings are well developed in both specimens. 
?PrcEA sp. Four specimens. G, H, J, K. Ali similar in 
microscopic character, and belonging either to Picea or Lariz. 
(G) *1 mile inland and 150 feet elevation at ‘Alert’ winter- 
quarters, Feb. 1876. Captain Feilden." This piece of stem has 
well-developed annual rings. 
(H) * Drift wood. Bottom of Musk-ox Fjord. Sept. 16, 
1875.” 35:5 inches long, 16 in circumference. Portion of a 
large stem with well-developed annual rings. 
(J) * No. 1. No locality nor date." A small piece of very 
much waterworn drift wood with well-developed annual rings, 
and probably a portion of a large stem. 
(K) “No. 1009. No locality." Small portions of a large stem 
in a good state of preservation, and having well-developed annual 
rings. 
Picea sp. Bark only. The specimen (L) is from pieces of 
bark evidently of a Picea, and marked “ On floe in Dumb-bell Bay,
