BEH.iBKS OS SUPPLESCEJTT TO "FLOPa DANICA." 81 



remain to appear. In this way it may be hoped that so far as 

 Phanerogams are conocrrjed the F/ora Jjanica will give as comph-te a 

 representation of the Scandinavian flora as is compatible in a book 

 limiUid to a definite number of volumes ; as to the Cryptogams (of 

 which the Fungi and Algai have long been excluded; they will not 

 be at all completely represented in the work. 



At the completion of the Supplement to the Flora Danica, it will 

 perhaps be not without interest to give a general review of its con- 

 tents, and I will add some remarks on the geographical distribution 

 of the species figured in it, so as to show in what proportion the two 

 kingdoms have contributed to the volume. 



There are figured in all 19^J species: 18 Lichens, 8 Hepaticae, 

 18 Mosses, 6 Ferns, 55 Monocotyledons, and 91 Dicotyledons. Of 

 these 61 have as yet been found only in Sweden, not in Xorway. (It 

 is probable, however, that some of these will be also found to grow'in 

 Norway wbep the Flora of that country, interrupted by the death of 

 Trof. Blytt, and now continued by his son, Mr. A. Blytt, 

 is all printed.) On the other hand there are 26 species belonging 

 to Norway and not yet discovered in Sweden. The remaining 109 

 are common to the floras of Norway and Sweden. The species in the 

 Supplement which, outside of Scandinavia, have not, so far as I know, 

 been found in Europe are 37, of which, however, some grow also 

 either in North America or in Siberia : —

Among the zones of the Scandinavian peninsula distinguished by 

 a characteristic vegetation must be specially mentioned : Ist, the 

 Arctic zone consisting of Lapland, Finmarkand the adjacent provinces 

 of Norway and Sweden; 2nd, the mountains of Norway; 3rd, the 

 western coast of Norway, and 4th, the islands of Gottland and 

 Oeland ; one finds also (5th) in the southern provinces (Scania and 

 Bleking) a flora very distinct compared with the rest of Scandinavia, 

 but in mogt essential points this is very like that of Denmark. A
