rated below; I saw altofretlier only 1 — 3 individuals of each 

 species willi the exception of Vaccinium and Salix, of which 

 I noticed about 20. 



Dryas octopetala f. minor, Alsine hiflora, Cerastium alpi- 

 num V. lanatnm, Draha hirta, Suxifraga decipiens, S. certiua, 

 S. oppositifolia, Vaccinium idiginoswn f. microphyllum, Oxyria 

 digyna, Salix arctica v. groenlandica, Luzula confusa and 

 Festuca ovina. 



In the pass and up the sides of the nnounlains up to about 

 700 metres above the level of the sea were noted: 



Dryas octopetala f. hirsuta, Arenaria ciliata v. htimifusa, 

 Cerastium alpinum f. lanatum, Fapaver radicatum, Saxifraga 

 aizoides, S. oppositifolia, Salix arctica v. groenlandica, Carex 

 nardina and Poa glauca. 



The walls of the pass were, owing to quick weather-crum- 

 bling, totally bare of plants, not even a lichen could be found 

 upon them. The north side of the mountain seen from above 

 was also bare. I went down it 200 metres without finding 

 other than the following mosses: Timmia austriaca, Plagio- 

 hryum Zierrii, Onchophoriis polycarpon, Grimmia apocarpa, 

 and Jungermania Baueriana. 



The valley below, as seen from the heights, was completely 

 bare of vegetation upon the coarse gravel. Indeed, this place 

 was one of the most desolate and most devoid of vegetation 

 ever seen by me in Greenland. On the other hand the land- 

 scape was exceedingly beautiful as from the far projecting Can- 

 ning Land one had a wide view of large tracts of the coasts 

 with lowlands and picturesque mountain-sceneries.

The observations and collections made during our stay in 

 the days from the 11^'^ — 17**^ Septbr. will be mentioned by 

 Krdüse in connection with his studies conducted in 1898 — 99 

 and in 1902.
