Most of the westerly forms are found in northern West-Green- 
land, whereas the greater part of the easterly forms are refound in 
southern West-Greenland. The western types represent a more arctic 
flora than the eastern, both avoid the outercoast and make out but 
a slight percentage of the flora of the region. The Denmark-Straits 
form the boundary between the precincts of the eastern and western 
arctic floras.

Ground-descriptions (p. 209—11). 
In this chapter is accounted for the wildly ragged crags of the 
tract, and the difference between the steepness of the highmountain 
and the more even iceground character of the mountain-foot is 
emphasized upon. 
The Soil (p. 211—15). 
The rocky bottom consists of slowly weathering granites, which 
are favourable for the plants, and quickly weathering amphibolite 
and gneiss which, on account of their looseness, are unfavourable. 
The loose layers of soil are mainly gravel and sand, but seldom clay.
