tuents.— Walden Island, Parry; Seven Island, Nordenskiöld ; and 
Brandywine: Bay, lat. 80? 24! N., 100. ft. above the sea; Torell saw 
it on the mountains, often near the snow-line, under lat. 80° N.. The 
first flowers were seen Ist July, and on 31st July ripe seed-pods were 
found... Like most Spitzbergen plants, this continues to flower until 
the end of August. 
CRUCIFERA, Juss. 
8, Cardamine pratensis, L.—Very scarce on the western coast up 
to Ice Sound, where it is found in September. Sydkap, Keilhau ; 
Bellsund, Vahl.and Ch. Martins. 
9. C. bellidifolia, L.—VWery general where the ground is free from 
snow in summer ; luxuriant on the low islets of the northern coast and 
at Hinlopen Strait. Higher than 2-300 ft. above the sea, under lat. 
09. N., it becomes more scarce, but was nevertheless found at 
Hinlopen Strait at an altitude of 800 ft.; Walden Island, Parry ; 
Seven Island, Nordenskiéld.-—It is in flower in the beginning of July, 
and has ripe pods at the end of the month. 
10. Arabis alpina, L.—Magdalena Bay, 300 ft. above the sea. 
11. Parrya arctica, R. Br., in Parry.—Hecla Cove, Parry. When 
I visited Hecla Cove at the end of June, the vegetation was so little 
advanced that this plant could not be found. Parry’s Expedition re- 
mained all the summer there, leaving it only in the end of August.

and at King’s Bay on 15th August. Hecla Cove, Parry; and Bell- 
sund, Vahl. 
H. Draba alpina, L., Whg., Hooker, Br.—Abundant along all the 
coasts and on all the islets.’ In flower at Treurenburg in the end of 
June. It varies greatly as to the size and shape of the pods, and 
also as to whether they are smooth, or more or less hairy.
