INTRODUCTION. 
Oz account of the collecting of plants during the Gjöa-expedition not 
being made by a botanist, no regards were taken to the fungi; and those 
named here are consequently only such, as quite accidentally were living 
upon the collected Phanerogames. The small Pyrenomycetes therefore are 
much more represented than the more conspicuous fungi as the Uredineae 
and Exobasidieae which surely are to be found. 
It is my opinion, that a statement of the countries — where the same fungi 
have formerly been found — would be useful; it shows, that most of the 
fungi, found by the expedition, have a circumpolar distribution, many of them 
_ are also found in the Alps. 
My account is close to Dr. OSTENFELD’s account of the Phanerogames 
from the Gjöa-expedition, so I have left out the names of the author and 
other details, which are to be found there.
