This account of the flora of the seal islands is only too brief 
for the interest it awakens, 92 species of Phanerogams, 4 Pteri- 
dophytes and 37 Bryophytes being enumerated. Critical notes 
by J. M. Rose are given on the following species: Chrysosplent- 
um alternifolium (?), Epilobium anagallidifolium, Artemisia Nor- 
vegica, var. Pacifica, and A. vulgaris, var. Tilestti. Dr. Merriam 
adopts the ornithological nomenclature with three names, but is 
puzzled what to do with the Sphagnums named by Warnstorf 
when they have four names. E,.G..B,
