better to refrain from the attempt. Of the collections of cryptogams, 

 too, very little has been said, as I have not been able to make any 

 definite classification of them. The work done in different parts may 

 be briefly summarized as follows : 



(1) Collections and occasional observations made in Danish Green- 



land, 1898. 



(2) Observations and collections made in Foulke Fjord, North-west 



Greenland, August, 1898, and August, 1899. 



(3) Miscellaneous botanical work in Ellesmere Land, 1898-1902 ; 



exploration of the Hayes Sound district, 1898-1899 ; exami- 

 nations on the south coast, 1899-1902, from Framfjord 

 westward, and also on the west coast into Baumann Fjord ; 

 observations of vegetation in various localities ; lists of 

 species from most of the places visited ; series of temperature- 

 observations, etc. 



(4) Excursions in North Devon, 1900 and 1902. 



(.">) Excursions in North Kent and on the other and smaller islands 

 at the western end of Jones Sound, 1901-1902. 



(0) Smaller collections of miscellaneous plants brought back from 

 the west coast of Ellesmere Land, and also from more western 

 countries by some of the sledge-expeditions. 



The following table is intended to give some idea of the material

contained in the collections : 



The above figures indicate the totals of numbers in the catalogue of 

 collections, but in many cases lower cryptogams of several different 

 species will be found mixed under the same number, while many 

 parasitic fungi can still be found on the higher plants, and, furthermore, 

 about two hundred numbers are not included in the table. It may, 

 therefore, be said with certainty that the aggregate of numbers in the 

 catalogue will reach five thousand ; this, presuming each head to
