QAKÜlZiN. 



r rom the arctic explorer L. \lylius-Erichsen the 

 Botanical Museum of Copenhagen has received a small collec- 

 tion of plants from NW. -Greenland. Some of the plants have 

 been collected by Mylius-Erichsen in 1903 partly north of 

 Cape York, partly in Melville-Bay, but the main part is due to 

 the Rev. Knud Balle, who accompanied a Danish expedition 

 to Cape York in 1905. 



The collection of Mylius-Erichsen from Granville-Bay 

 (c. 76° 50' Lat. N.) north of Cape York contains 6 species, that 

 from Melville-Bay (J. A. D. Jensen's-lslands and Garde's-Islands) 

 only 2 species. The collection of Knud Balle from Umanak and 

 Agpat (Saunders-Island) in Wolstenholme-Sound (c. 76° 30' Lat. N.) 

 is richer, containing 23 species of phanerogams. 



The flora of NW. -Greenland is rather well known; the 

 numerous expeditions have brought home smaller or larger 

 collections. Of the earlier contributions to the flora we find a 

 good review in the paper by A. G. Nathorst M published in 

 1884 and containing also the results of his explorations at 

 Ivsuglgsok near Cape York (c. 76° 8' Lat. N.) in 1883. Later 

 ^contributions to the flora are I) a list of the Peary Auxiliary
