POSTSCRIPT 



TT /"hen in 1920 the Committec for the geologicai and geographical 

 > > investigations of Greenland kindly iindertook to publish the pre- 

 sent work andimmediately put the first part to press I hoped to be able 

 to finisli the second part diiring the printingof the firstpart. Inthis, how- 

 ever, I was hindered by various other works of official character, travels 

 abroad etc, and later on both I and niy coliaborator have had 

 occasion to make further observations in hitherto nnexplored j)arts of 

 the area whereby the preliminary work accomplished for the second 

 part had to be revised. This second part will contain a survey of the 

 distribution of the species and types of piants within the area as far 

 as possible with due allowance to the geographical, geologicai and 

 cliniatological conditions. 



My reason for letting the first j)art appear before finishing the 

 second is due to the purely practical demand that the present voluine 

 in "Meddelelser om Grønland" has to be concluded. In this connection 

 I must express my sincerest thanks to the Committee for the unique 

 patience shown at Ihis dolay.
