74 H. G. SIMMONS. [SEC. ARCT. EXP. FRAM 



The poppy seems to be a very common plant throughout the area, 

 and is found up to the farthest point where any plants have been 

 collected. 



Occurrence. S. Bushnan Island (Ross, SUTHERLAND); Cape York 

 (HART, STEIN, WETHERILL); Ivsugigsok (NATHORST); Wolstenholme Sound 

 (INGLEFIELD), Agpa (Saunders Island) and Umanak (BALLE), Wolsten- 

 holme Island (MEEHAN), Granville Bay (MvLius ERICHSEN); Inglefield Gulf: 

 Northumberland Island (STEIN), Burdin Bay (INGLEFIELD), Cape Acland, 

 Fan Glacier, Bowdoin Bay, Glacier Valley at Cape Robertson (WETHER- 

 ILL), M'Cormick Bay (MEEHAN); Cape Alexander (HAYES); Foulke Fjord 

 (HART, 200, 1885); Rensselaer Harbour and Mary Minturn River (KANE). 

 N. Lafayette Bay (KANE); Bessels Bay and Hannah Island (HART); Hall 

 Land (BESSELS); Polaris Bay (HART); Lockwood Island (LOCKWOOD). 



Ranunculaceae. 

 Ranunculus affinis, R. BR. 



R. affinis, SIMMONS, Fl. Ellesm. 



This species was never found in North-Western Greenland before 

 my second visit to Foulke Fjord ; but as it was known from the north- 

 eastern coast and also from one single locality 1 on the west -side (Ar- 

 salik at N. Isortok Fjord, collected by KORNERUP), there was good reason 

 for keeping a lockout for it. The specimens, of which I got only a few, 

 are somewhat smaller than those from Ellesmereland, but agree with them. 

 They were, for the most part, in fruit when collected, August 11, 1899. 



Occurrence. S. Foulke Fjord, grassy slopes above Etah (1501), 

 also in the STEIN collection. 



Ranunculus sulphureus, SOLAND. 



R. sulphureus, SIMMONS, Fl. Ellesm. [R. sulphureus. NATHORST, 

 N. W. Gronl., R. nivalis, HART, Bot. Br. Pol. Exp., ex p.; DURAND, PI. 

 Kan., ex p.; R. frigidus, DICKIE, Not. fl. pi., in INGLEFIELD, Summer 

 Search]. 



In all probability, this species is a common plant throughout our 

 area, where it is found by most collectors since the time of SUTHERLAND 

 and INGLEFIELD. Sometimes, however, it may have been overlooked or 



1 I have previously pointed out (Fl. Ellesm., p. 107) that HART has made a mis- 

 take when he stated this species for Disco.
