The Flora of Disko Island and Adjacent Coast of West Greenland. 13 
1901). Of the vegetation I published an account in Medd. om Grl. 
XXYV; for the remaining collections see below. 
Herm. G. Simmons, botanist to the second Norwegian »Fram« Ex- 
pedition in 1898, made an excursion to Lyngmarken near Godhayn. 
In a preliminary paper (Nyt Magazin for Naturvidenskaberne B. ‘41, 
1903 p. 223) he mentions some of the plants noticed. 
Tueo. Horm published in 1900 a list of plants collected by the 
Prary Expedition of 1897 (Bull. of the Torr. bot. Cl. 27, p. 65—68); 
2 species are mentioned from Godhavn. 
Morten P. Porsitp, during a summer trip to West Greenland in 
1902, made a boat excursion round Disko and collected plants, not only 
on the coast round the island, but in all the fjords and on the western 
sides and at several stations in the interior of the northwestern part 
also. 
Since my moving to Greenland in 1906 I have, partly alone, partly 
together with visitors to the Danish Arctic Station: H. BacuMann of 
Lucerne, M. Riku of Zirich, W. Jost of Berne, Lauce Kocu of Copen- 
hagen, TH. Wutrr of Stockholm, W. E. Exsiaw of Urbana, IJ]. made 
numerous excursions on Disko, to the southern coast as well to the 
others, to the fjords and in the interior. On most of those excursions | 
was assisted by one or by both of my two sons: THorByOrN and Er- 
LING PorsiLp, who besides collected on several trips for themselves. 
Also my former assistant Mr. J. N. NyGAaarp made several gatherings 
on the south coast.

first time:
