These plants were gathered on the mountain side from a 

 height of 940 m up to the 1000 ms. high top partly on herby 

 slopes, partly on the rocks near the top. It is easily seen, that the 

 top has had the same spare flora, while the herby slopes , al- 

 though 250 — 300 metres higher than the mountain top ascended 

 by me, have had a character corresponding to the herby slopes 

 in a height of 500—600 metres.

The vegetation is as a rule very poor upon the mountain- 

 slopes and on the narrow foreland by Turner Sund. The 

 lack of stability of the soil is probably an essential cause 

 for the poverty. The weathering of the basalt is very considerable 

 out here at the coast; the melting-water and the avalanches 

 in spring, mountain-slides in the summer-time tear up the 

 steep slopes with a prodigious force; huge holes and deep 

 furrows are often seen in the cones of débris and in the 

 gravel, even away in the narrow lowland between the moun- 

 tain slopes and the sound. The remnants of the destroyed
