1898- 1902. No. 16.J FLOW. PLANTS AND FERNS OF N.-W. GREENLAND. 13 



According to HAYES'S own Journal and his address to the American 

 Philosophical Society of Philadelphia, Dec. 6, 1861, the expedition visited 

 the following places enumerated in chronological order: 



Proven ..... Danish Greenland Aug. 612, 1860 



Upernivik ..... 1216 



Tasiusak (Tessiussak) 2122 



Cape York . . . . N. W. 25 



Cape Alexander . . 30 



Littleton Island . . Sept. 3 



Port Foulke .... 4 



After wintering there, the following points were visited the next 

 year (besides those only reached in sledging expeditions during the 

 winter time): 



Port Foulke ....... N. W. Grenland until July 14 1861 



Littleton Island ..... 5 7 



Cairn Point ....... ? 



Cape Isabella ...... Ellesmereland ? 



Gale Point ....... ? 



Hakluyt Island ..... N. W. Greenland ? 



Burdin Bay (Netlik) . . . ? (several days, not July 12)

Upernivik ....... Danish Aug. 14? 1861 



Augpalartok (Aukpadlartok) . ? 



Godhavn ....... Sept. 1 



At the beginning of September, the expedition was already far to 

 the south, and consequently no plants could then be collected in N. W. 

 Greenland. There must, therefore, be something wrong about the indi- 

 cation "Tessiussak, Sept. 4th" but it is probably not the date only. 

 DURAND says: Dr. HAYES'S collections have been confined to the limits 

 of the 78th and 82nd parallels (Enum. pi. Smith S., p. 93), but no col- 

 lections are made north of lat. 79 and HAYES (Op. Pol. Sea, p. 55) 

 speaks explicitly of his "Proven and Upernivik collections", which al- 

 ready contained all the plants he saw at "Tessiussak", when he went 

 botanizing there (Aug. 1860, see above). Those collections from the more 

 southerly parts of Greenland have, in all probability, formed part of the 

 material which DURAND has treated as having been collected only north 

 of Melville Bay, and thus an explanation may be found for the fact,
