Natural History of East Finmarh. 353 



Tronic! he added. An estimation of the flora of sneh regions 

 would give extremely dilfcrent figures from those given hy 

 Hooker relating to plants found north of the arbitrary line 

 of the Arctic Circle irrespective of climatic conditions. 



In the voyage homewards from Vadso to the Lofoten 

 Islands, where I stopped for a few days, I was so fortunate 

 as to find in a fellow-passenger Herr A. Landmark, the 

 Government Inspector of Inland Fishery in Norway, wdio is 

 a very good botanist. He went through my herbarium, and 

 kindly named for me many plants with which otherwise I 

 should have found much difiiculty, e. g. the species of 

 Eriophoron. He also was so good as to give me several 

 plants which he had collected at Tana and Nyborg, and 

 •which I have included in the following lists. In England I 

 am much indebted to the kindness of two specialists who 

 determined for me the difficult Salices and the Carices and 

 allies, Dr. F. Buchanan White having examined the former 

 and Mr. Arthur Bennett the latter. 



In the following list I have indicated the exact localities 

 where the plants were procured by the use of initial letters, 

 as below : — 



B. Bog Fiord (on or near the shores of). 



K. Klosterelv Fiord (on or near the shores of). 



L. Lang Fiord (on or near the shores of). 



N. Nyborg {Herr Landmark). 



P. Elvenes and Pasvic River. 



S. Kirkenes and its neighbourhood in Sydvaranger. 



T. Tana {Herr Landmark). 



V. Vadso and Nordvaranger. 



The nomenclature of species in the following list is that of 

 C. J. Hartraan^s ' Handl)ok i Skandinaviens Flora,' but I 

 have not adopted his arrangement of families, which is that 

 of Fries, but have followed that which is better known to 

 English botanists.
