of the fjord along a Itrook Ironi the hili 8125' to tlie bay at Eqalunguit; here the 

 occurrence is called Tiggait (the unpleasant smelling). Soniewhat eastwards are se- 

 veral smaller localities near the same hill and in a valley leading behind the northern 

 side of the hill to Avdlångissat is a very large occurrence of the plant at 69°36'. 

 Fartlier inwards at the same branch the occurrences of Archangelica extend with 

 small interruptions from Orpit to Kuånerssuit at the head of the branch. The last 

 mentioned locality I have described elsewhere (Medd. om Grl. 25 p. 188 — 98). As 

 far as botanical literature is concerned, the word Kuånerssuit denotes the northern 

 shore here, but, according to the traditions of the natives, the name refers to the 

 shore inside the very head of the branch. This place is now inaccessible during 

 summer because of the filling up of the fjord by the action of the torrents here. The 

 ^7T/?a^!^e/tca-plants are here said to reach a size so large that the stems will project 

 when carried in the skin of a fullgrown saddle-back seal. — At Angujartutit, where 

 the shore of the same bends in a south-westerly direction, is an area with numerous 

 hot springs, 5 — 6 kilometers in length and more than one kilometer wide. Archangelica 

 grows over the whole area, the biggest occurrence 1 have seen. — 5) In the soutli- 

 western branch of the fjord, Archangelica occurs at three spots, one somewhat in- 

 side Ikineq, 69°29'( !) the other about midway between that place and Nångissat. 

 — 6) In the branch Kangikitdleq are two localities at the head of the branch near 

 the valley leading northwards, G0°28' and one on the southern shore, Kuånikasit, 

 69°27'. — 7) Finally Archangelica occurs on the southern shore of Qeqertaq, at 

 69°29' and on the southern shore of the fjord proper, inside Nipisat Bay, 69°25', 

 whereas it is wanting at the hot spring Unartoq on that shore. 



IV. South Coast of Disko and valleys hereof. 



Along the shore at the foot of the mountainBlaafjæld (Uivfak) about 54°Long. 

 W. Archangelica occurs in small quantities in several piaces, turning round the 

 southeastern corner of the mountain, where they grow denser and reaching up the 

 valley Itivdleq, ending at the valley Tukingassoq, leading behind Blaafjæld. — • 

 From Kangerdluarssuk (Fortune Bay) to Augpilagtunguaq are 4 or 5 small occurr- 

 ences. From here they occur almost continually over Quvnermiut ( !) to Engelsk- 

 mandens Havn, 69°15' near Godhavn. In Lyngmarken only a few individuals occur. 

 In Osterdalen and at the springs in that \alley Archangelica was absent, but several 

 years ago seeds were sown here (E. P.) and seedlings are found. In Blæsedalen 

 Archangelica grows from the foot of the mountain Skarvefjæld and half-way to 

 the fjord, but scarce ( !). At the foot o£ the said mountain. towards the sea, we have 

 a very luxuriant locality, named Kuånit, often mentioned and figured because of 

 the picturesque basalt-columns. Farther eastwards near the cliff Per Dams Skib 

 (Asungasungåq) we fmd Archangelica at a considerable height over the sea. Also 

 at the mouth of Brede Dal, 69^18' the plant occurs in plenty (!). 



From Brede Dal easlwards Archangelica occurs at Puilassunguaq ( !), Tase- 

 rårssuk and Sinigfik, 69°19'— 20'( !), Marrait, Kigdlussat and Sarqarssuaq, 69°20'— 

 22', Tuapait 69^25' and in a valley inside the settlement of Aumarutigssat, the 

 river of which ends at Kigdlusaitsut nuat. From this point eastwards towards Mud- 

 derbugt no occurences are kndwii. 



V. Mudderbugt and valleys to that bay. 



Archangelica occurs on the southern side, rathcr far from the shore, 69^40', 

 and on the northern side, also at same distance from the bay. Hartz has, in Medd. 

 om Grl. 15, p. 65, given a description of the place and its vegetation. Finally at the 

 head at the largest valley to Mudderbugt, Kvandal behind Ujaragsugssuk, ca. 69°47', 

 described by Porsild, 1. c. p. 153. This place is the northernmost known in
