470 NEW LAND. 



Glacier Valley in that fjord, Lastraeadalen, Eskimopolis, and the 

 vicinity of Cape Viele at Buchanan Strait were visited. The second 

 time was at the beginning of August, when I was chiefly occupied in 

 making collections on Skrfellingoen, in Alexandra Fjord. Both these 

 trips gave very good results, though the time in both cases was shorter 

 than I could have wished. 



The above places near Buchanan Strait and Bedford Pirn Island 

 had once before been visited by a botanist namely, the aforesaid Mr. 

 Hart. He notes sixty-one vascular plants from there, a number which, 

 however, must be somewhat reduced, partly because in his list of species 

 found he includes forms that are now united with other species also in his 

 list, and also because (partly through intermixture with plants collected 

 in Greenland ?) he includes species which, doubtless, do not appear here 

 at all. From his list, therefore, must be excluded : Papaver alpinum, 

 Draba rupestris, Cerastium latifolium, very likely also Potent ilia anserina, 

 Pedicular is lapponica, P.Jlammea,and Carex riyida. With these reductions 

 there remain on his list only two species which I did not find again, 

 namely, Carex alpina and Poa alpina. The additions to the higher 

 flora in the vicinity of Hayes Sound, which I was able to make, are as 

 follows : Antennaria alpina, Campanula uniflora*, Pyrola yrandiflora, 

 Arabis arenicola, Hesperis Pallasii, Cardamine bellidifoJia, C. pratensis, 

 Draba nivalis, D. fladnizensis, Potentilla pulchella, P. sp., Saxifraya 

 stellar i-s var. comosa, Ranunculus hyperboreus, R. pi/gnmtis, StdJaria 

 humifusa, Sayina nivalis, Glyceria Vahliana, G. distans (vaginata), 

 G. maritima (vttfoidea), Poa pratensis, P. abbreviate, Catabrosa alyida, 

 Colpodium latifolium, Air a flexuosa, Carex pulla, C. incurva, G. ursinrt, 

 Luzula nivalis, Lastrcea frayrans. 



The material collected, in most cases, is fairly abundant ; many 

 species were collected in many different places, and a number in the 

 catalogue of the collection generally comprises several specimens. Of 

 the cryptogams, on the whole, a large number of specimens were 

 collected, and the total of numbers of mosses, for instance, is about 

 five hundred. I cannot, however, at the present standpoint 'in the 

 classification, give even an approximate figure for the number of species 

 in the various cryptogamous groups. 



After our second visit to Foulke Fjord we set out for Jones Sound, 

 \vhere, on August 26, 1890, we visited a fjord behind Cone and Smith 

 Islands, on the south coast of Ellesmere Land, afterwards named Fram- 

 fjord. We stayed there for two days, and as the flora was decidedly 

 rich and the vegetation so vigorous that it reminded me of Foulke 

 Fjord, this short stay gave a relatively good result. The two 

 excursions which I made here brought in the following species, which 

 are new to the Ellesmere Land flora : Pedicular is lanata, Armeria
