HART, Bot. Br. Pol. Exp. ; BESSELS, Exp. Pol. Amer. et Amer. Nordpol- 

 Exp. ; WETHERILL, List 1894], 



Occurrence. S. Wolstenholme Sound (!NGLEFIELD); Inglefield Gulf: 1 

 Burdin Bay (INGLEFIELD), Netlik (HAYES), Fan Glacier and Cape Acland 

 (WETHERILL); Foulke Fjord (HART), at Reindeer Point (1494, 1524, 1583).*

Silene acaulis, L. 



S. acaulis, SIMMONS, Fl. Ellesm. [S. acaulis, DURAND, PI. Kan., 

 et Enum. pi. Smith S.; NATHORST, N. W. Gronl.; WETHERILL, List 1894]. 



Notwithstanding that this species is not at all rare at Foulke Fjord, 

 it has been entirely overlooked there by the previous collectors. I found 

 it in several places in grassy slopes as well as in gravel plains. NAT- 

 HORST, N. W. Gronl., records it only for Ivsugigsok; but although it is 

 not noted by DURAND from any of KANE'S North-West Greenland local- 

 ities, it is mentioned by KANE himself (Arct. Explor. I, p. 266), and it 

 is also entered in the list of HAYES'S collections. 



Occurrence. S. Cape York (WETHERILL); Ivsugigsok (NATHORST); 

 Inglefield Gulf: Northumberland Island (STEIN), Glacier Valley, Cape 

 Acland, Fan Glacier (WETHERILL), Netlik (HAYES); Foulke Fjord, Rein- 

 deer Point (223, 1520); Rensselaer Bay (KANE).

1 MEEHAN, who mentions it from Inglefield Gulf (Contr. Green!., p. 209), seems to 

 have been unable to separate the species in question as pointed out by TH. 

 HOLM, Contr. Fl. Greenl. 



- The statement of DURAND, PI. Kan., "at almost every station of both voyages", 

 must of course be left out of consideration.
