110 DR. E. DICKIE ON ARCTIC PLANTS. 



record respecting the vegetation of the North Polar circle, I have 

 thought it right to put together notes on small collections made 

 at various periods by some of my former pupils, whUe in medical 

 charge of whaling vessels. 



The specimens were contributed by Messrs. W. F. Clarke, A. K. 

 Clark, Maitland, Philips, Craig, and Sutherland. 



The localities extend on the east side of Davis's Straits, from lat. 

 691° N. to 76° N. ; and on the west side from 65° N. to 74° N. 



One of these gentlemen, Dr. P. C. Sutherland, now of Port 

 Natal, made good collections when attached to Penny's and 

 Inglefield's expeditions ; records of these are appended to the 

 published accounts of these voyages.
