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



Polypodiaceae. 

 Aspidium fragrans, (L.) Svv. 



A. fragrans, SIMMONS, Fl. Ellesm. [^4. fragrans, WETHERILL, List 

 1894]. 



Occurrence S. Inglefield Gulf: Bowdoin Bay ( 



Cystopteris fragilis, (L.) BERNH. 



C. fragilis, SIMMONS, Fl. Ellesm. [C. fragilis, DURAND, PI. Kan.: 

 WETHERILL, List 1894]. 



Besides the localities, mentioned below, where the species is found, 

 there is one more in DURAND'S list of KANE'S plants (PI. Kan., p. 201) 

 which may perhaps belong to it, even though it seems at least equally 

 probable that the following one is meant. DURAND says under Cysto- 

 pteris: "Another state (very young) of propably the same fern was col- 

 lected at Rensselaer Harbour. It is scarcely more than 4 inches long, 

 narrower and less divided, without fruit dots." 



In Foulke Fjord it grew here and there in crevisses of the rocks. 



Occurrence. S. Wolstenholme Sound (KANE); Inglefield Gulf: 

 Bowdoin Bay (WETHERILL); Foulke Fjord: Reindeer Point (222, 1465). 



Woodsia glabella, R. BR. 



W. glabella, SIMMONS, Fl. Ellesm. ; W. ilvensis var. glabella, OSTEN- 

 FELD, Plantes N. E. Gronl. 



Only found in Foulke Fjord, where it grew sparingly in the fissures 

 of rock above Reindeer Point. Perhaps, however, the above mentioned 

 statement of DURAND may have reference to this species. 



Occurrence. S. Foulke Fjord (1491). 



1 GELERT in OSTENFELD. Fl. Arct, p. 5, gives the northern limit in Greenland of this 

 fern as 78 30', which must be a mistake as he only quotes WETHERILL and his 

 locality lies about one degree to the south.
