dashes heavily into the inlet. This Fwcacecp -vegetation was widely 

 distributed horizontally, but not vertically, as was easily observed 

 on the perpendicular walls of the inlet, where all three species 

 grew together, forming a helt hardly more than a few feet broad. 

 It should not be forgotten, however, that ebb and ilow aie scarcely 

 perceptible on this part of the coast.

From Thorshavn, which has rather an exposed situation, south- 

 ward to Arge, a F»rrtcea? -vegetation is moreover found, with Fucus 

 spiralis uppermost, Fiiciis inflatiis lowest (see figs. 157 and 158). To 

 these must be added AscophijUiim nodosiim in somewhat sheltered 

 piaces, and Fiicns vesicnlosiis in the most sheltered. At Glivernæs, 

 still more toward the South, and further on in the same direction, 

 the coast becomes more exposed and only the dwarfish forms of 

 Fiiciis spiralis and F. inflatiis are found. 



Examples of the above-mentioned Fncacecp- formation will be
