collected at Atanékerdluc on the south shore of Nugsuaks 
Peninsula on the shore of the Vaigat, which separates the 
peninsula from Disco Island. By arrangement with the 
Garden a selected lot of this material will be exchanged 
for duplicate material from the Garden collections. Fossil 
plants from Greenland have heretofore been entirely lack- 
ing in the Garden collections and an interesting and 
valuable accession has thus been assured.
