198 KJELLMAN, THE ALG^; OF THE AKCTIC 8EA. 



such organs in July and August at Nordlanden and Finmarken, in July on the vvest 

 coast of Novaya Zernlya, and a form vvhich is nearest related to f. arctica at tlie end 

 of July at Novaya Zeralya. Of f. abhreviata I have seen only sterile specimens. 



Geogr. Distrib. It is known both from the Atlantic and the arctic region of the 

 Polar Sea. In the latter it has but a liraited distribution, being probably a form 

 that has immigrated there. It is not known from the Kära Sea, the Siberian Sea, and 

 the American Arctic Sea. If it occurs in BafRn Bay, it must be very local and scarce. 

 The only notice of its occurring there is by Lyngbye, who alleges having seen speci- 

 mens from that sea in the herbaria of Fabricius and Gieseke. During the numerous 

 expeditions which have in låter tiraes visited those waters, this plant has not been met 

 with, as far as I know. Its maximum of frequency is on the north-west coast of 

 Norway. The most northern locality where it has been observed is the coast of 

 Spitzbergen. 



Localities: The Norweyian Polar Sea: Nordlanden (f. abhreviata, f. typica and f. 

 angusta) common and abundant; Tromsö amt (f. grandi/rons and f. typica), the latter 

 form abundant and common; Finmarken (f. typica) common and abundant, at Maasö, 

 Gjesvair, the south coast of Magerö, and Oxfjord; f. grandifrons local and more scarce 

 at Maasö and Gjesvter. 



The Greenland Sea: the coast of Spitzbergen (f. arctica), local and probably scarce. 



T/ie Murvian Sea: the coasts of Russian Lapland and Cisuralian Samoyede-land, 

 local and scarce; the west coast of Novaya Zemlya and Waygats; probably every where 

 forms most nearly allied to f. angusta and f. arctica. Cp. GoBi and Kjellman 1, c. 



Th,e White Sea: common and plentiful, probably f. angusta and arctica. 



Bafjin Bay: the coasts of Greenland, acpording to Lyngbye.
