Mr. Durand also observes, that " another remarkable feature of 

 Dr. Kane's collection is, that, dividing into two equal parts the whole 

 extent of coasts visited by him, and each section presenting about 

 the same number of stations at which herborizations were made, the 

 northern section, from Upernavik to Washington Land, has yielded 

 more dicotyledonous plants than the southern, from Fiske Fiord to 

 73°; and Smith's Sound alone, only three degrees in length, has 

 proved nearly as rich."
