in the Ferées; she has collected many plants in the different is- 
lands, especially in the Nordreöer. A member of the teaching staff 
of the Highschool at Fagralid on Bordö, Mr. R. Rasmussen is 
an eager and successful botanical explorer; he has investigated some 
parts of Bordö, Kunö and Kalsö very thoroughly. Further I may men- 
tion one inhabitant more, Mr. Gazet Patursson, who has found 
many interesting plants especially in the southern part of Strömö. 
In 1903 I visited the islands again and studied the vegetation 
in the neighbourhood of Thorshavn (Strömö), but the floristic result 
was very poor, because this place is most often visited. 
In the literature after 1900 I have found only one book, in which 
there are remarks on the Faeroese flora, viz. W. Bisiker: Across 
Iceland, With illustrations and maps and an appendix by A.W. Hill 
on the plants collected. London (E. Arnold), 1902. The Appendix II 
(pp. 226—231) to this book is »a list of plants collected in the Faroes 
and Iceland in June and July 1900«. The places in the Faeröes vi- 
sited by the authors are Trangisvaag (Syderö), Thorshavn (Strömö) 
and Klaksvig (Bordö), just the ordinary stopping-places on the way 
to Iceland, and all visited and investigated by many botanists be- 
fore. The list gives most of the plant-names without indication of 
which of the three places is the locality, only »Faroes« is added to the 
name, and it contains both Icelandic and Feeroese species together. 
All this makes it probable, that the records of Draba verna, Viola 
ericetorum (= V.canina), Dryas octopetala, Geum rivale and Galium 
uliginosum are incorrect, as none of these species have been found 
before in any of the three visited places, and Draba verna and Viola 
canina are not elsewhere recorded from the Feerées. All these spe- 
cies are not rare in Iceland. I therefore consider the records as 
incorrect and do not take them up in my list. 
It remains only to refer to the paper by Mr. H. Dahlstedt 
on the Feroese Hieracia!. He describes herein all the species found 
in the Ferées as new. A good many of them I refound in 1903 
and was able to determine correctly, as shown by a later revision 
of my material by Mr. Dahlstedt. 
I take here the opportunity of thanking Miss Elisabeth Tay- 
lor, Mr. G. Patursson and Mr. R. Rasmussen for their valuable 
contributions to the flora, and Mr. H. Dahlstedt and Mr. W. Becker 
for assistance with regard to the Taraxaca, Hieracia and Viole. I 
also wish to give my best thanks to Mr. W. H. Beeby for his kind
