of "Rudemark"); but the cracks did not become so deep here as I 

 saw them in several other places under similar circumstances. True 

 "Rudemarks" probably do not occur at all in Germania Land; they 

 were indicated most decidedly where the snow had been lying so 

 far into August that the ground did not succeed in producing any 

 vegetation at all. 



On July 17, 1908, were found in addition upon "The Island" 

 Draba subçapitata, D. fladnizensis, Sagina intermedia, Ranunculus pyg- 

 mœus, Taraxacum arcticum f. albiflora (Fig. 14), Oxyria digyna and 

 Glyceria maritima f. reptans.

The following table shows 48 species which have been found 

 upon "The Island", the tenting ground near Lille Snenæs and in 

 the Pa/)ayer-association near Yderbugten (July 28, 1907). Conse- 

 quently, in these three diminutive localities occurs one-half of all 

 the species which have been found, which, it appears to me, is a 

 proof of the monotony of the vegetation in these regions. These 

 three habitats are designated A. B. С respectively, and the species 

 found are indicated by a x. 



In regard to 8 species it is known for certain that they occurred 

 in all three habitats. Poa, as a 9th species, is uncertain, as in the 

 stage of development in which it was found in all three instances 

 it was impossible to determine it as species. Characteristic of the
