As may be seen in the above special synonymic, this species is 

 entered in the different lists under quite a series of more or less appro- 

 priate names. I have already spoken about the P. alpina of several 

 authors. 



Doubtless P. cenisia is quite as common in different kinds of lo- 

 calities within our present area as in Ellesmereland, at least such was 

 the case at Foulke Fjord.

HART, Bot. Br. Pol. Exp., p. 40, records this species also from Foulke 

 Fjord. Now indeed, as it grows in Ellesmereland even in the Hayes 

 Sound district, it is not at all impossible that it may be found also in 

 the neighbouring parts of Greenland; but, on the other hand, I have 

 not, so far as my notes show, seen any specimens from those regions 

 in the London collections, and this, together with its great likeness to 

 P. venisia, makes it more probable that HART had the latter in view. 

 The more so, as no other collector has found it in that comparatively 

 well-explored place. I therefore think it better not to give it any place 

 as a member of the N. W. Greenland flora until more reliable evidence 

 is procured.

Ivsugigsok, where NATHORST found it in 1883 (N. W. Gronl.), still 

 stands as the only locality in N. W. Greenland of this beautiful and 

 interesting grass. It is not, however, improbable that it was seen in 

 Foulke Fjord during our second visit there. Mr. BAY, the zoologist of
