Notwithstanding that this species is not at all rare at Foulke Fjord, 

 it has been entirely overlooked there by the previous collectors. I found 

 it in several places in grassy slopes as well as in gravel plains. NAT- 

 HORST, N. W. Gronl., records it only for Ivsugigsok; but although it is 

 not noted by DURAND from any of KANE'S North-West Greenland local- 

 it ii-s. it is mentioned by KANE himself (Arct. Kxplor. I, p. 206), and it 

 i- also entered in the list of HAYES'S collections. 



Occurrence. S. Cape York (WETHERILL); Ivsugigsok (NATHORST);
