1898- 1902. No. 16.] FLOW. PLANTS AND FERNS OF N.-W. GREENLAND. 35 



Table III contains 152 species which are members of one or more 

 of the floras of the three districts here specially in question ; viz., N. E. 

 and N. W. Greenland and Ellesmereland. As for their appearance in 

 those and the neighbouring districts, they may be grouped as I have 

 done in Table V, where existence within a district is marked with a 

 " + ", absence of it with a " ". It is, however, always to be kept in 

 mind that some of the districts are very unsatisfactorily explored; and 

 that even in the relatively well examined tracts, additions will yet be 

 made that will very considerably alter the numbers, total as well as 

 relative. I think, therefore, that it will be better to discuss the 

 dubious species separately, and afterwards try to get as natural groups 

 as possible. However, I shall try to point out also, what results may r 

 in my opinion, be arrived at by using the rough statistics here put 

 together.
