In 1896 L. Kotperup RosenvinGe published a list of new records 
made since his paper of 1892. As far as Disko 1s concerned, some most 
interesting gatherings by the Rey. P. H. Sorensen, partly from God- 
havn, partly from the Disko fjord are incorporated with it; also some 
collections made by M. Trausrepr. 
A remarkable number of the Rev. SoreNnsen’s findings are made 
outside the ordinary area of distribution. All the determinations of 
these findings have been verified by Rosenvince, and the labels 
bear quite correct statements of finding-place, date, ete. But all 
the same I do think that some of them ought to be questioned, be- 
cause, during several years, | have made an unavailing search for the 
plants in those localities within my reach, as for instance, Cornus suecica, 
a very conspicuous species which is recorded both from Egedesminde 
and Godhavn, even with ripe fruit. Besides, we meet with some quite 
improbable statements in the material collected by Sorensen. Pota- 
mogeton gramineus, for instance, being recorded from Rode Ely near 
Godhavn. But Rode Ely is a cold glacier torrent in which no Potamogeton 
is able to grow, least of all this purely temperate species, which other- 
wise is known from 60°—61° only, and oceasionally up to 67°. 
As the Rev. SorENSEN lived during those years when he formed 
his collection, sometimes at Godthaab, about 64°, and sometimes at 
Disko-Bay I cannot get rid of the idea that his collections from the 
various places have somehow got mixed, which often happens, I am 
sorry to say, in the case of amateurs who fail to see the wide bearing 
of their statements. Therefore I cannot take these statements, into 
consideration, till they have been confirmed by more recent discoveries. 
A. W. RowLee and K. M. Wiecanp published 1897 in ( Botanical 
Gazette XXVI 2 p. 417—26) a list of plants collected by the Cornect- 
Party of the Peary expedition of 1896. From the vicinity of Godhavn 
67 species are named, of which a few are rather rare, all however having 
been previously found here. 
Cur. Kruuse visited in 1897 during a botanical journey to West 
Greenland, the neighbourhood of Godhavn and gave in 1898 some ac- 
counts of the vegetation and of the plants noticed by him (Medd. om 
Grl. XIV p. 348 ff.). 
Morten P. Porsixp visited Disko in 1898 and collected on the south 
coast, the Vajgat coast and some branches of the Disko-Fjord and in 
some valleys leading to the interior viz. the Kiganguaq valley, the 
Kvan-valley behind Ujaragsugssuk. Of my collections, the Potentillas 
have been studied by P. A. Rypsere (Bull. of the Torr. bot. Club 28,
