Greenland, only in Norway the plant occurs farther north, 70°11’ (NonMann: 
Norges Arktiske Flora I, 1, p. 317'). Strange to say this occurrence is at the same 
time one of the most elevated known in Greenland, namely 550 m above the sea. 
Only at Angmagssalik in East Greenland Kruvuse records a higher station. 
On the Waygat-coast of Disko Archangelica does not occur, neither in the 
big valleys nor near the hot springs at Unartog and Unartuarssuk. About the big 
valley of Kiganguaq Gresecke remarks: »Archangelica wachst im Thale in betracht- 
licher Menge«, but I have convinced myself about the incorrectness of that sta- 
tement. I may point out here that the work of the celebrated author, given in the 
form of a diary, is not written in the field, but during his winters in Greenland, 
nay partially in Denmark after his return, and several minor inaccuracies, also 
in geographical and other respects are due to slip of memory. 
The Mainland of West Greenland. 
In his Conspectus Fl. Groenl. Tilleg p. 259 Lancer records Archangelica as 
»common to 69°, but in the second supplement p. 682 Rosenvince corrects this 
statement and records 8S. Kangerdluarssuk, 67°0' as the northernmost locality on 
the mainland. Besides it was known from Ikertoq-fjord 66°45’, but nowhere else re- 
corded by the numerous collectors who travelled in the district of Holsteinsborg: 
we found the plant at one new locality here, viz. Naujarssuit in Qeqertalik-bay 
66°44’ (P. & E.), but we omitted to collect information from the natives. 
The plant does, however, occur farther northwards, thus at several places 
in N. Stromfjord and therefore undoubtedly also in the N. Isortoq-fjord, lying be- 
tween the two areas. We shall here mention in full the localities seen by us or men- 
tioned to us by the natives. Most of our records are due to the native ANDREAS 
Branpt at Kangatsiaq, who marked for us every occurrence, known to him or to 
his much travelling countrymen, in a map of large scale.

1) In a paper: Uber die Engelwurz. Schweiz. Wochenschr. f. Chemie u. Phar- 
macie 1901. M. Rrxx1 has felt himself called upon to correct my statements, but 
he has certainly first and foremost saddled me with the mistake which he corrects. 
A critic ought, at any rate, to be able to read aright! 
2) The existing maps are here very deficient, large branches are only loosely sug- 
gested, but not correctly. Hence the positions of this and some of the subsequent 
localities are rather uncertain.
