NOTES ON THE FLORA OF NORTHAMPTON SHIRE. 79 



On guano soil or organic matter, as around old Esquimaux 

 settlements at Hayes' Sound, about aukeries and below bird-cliffs 

 as at Cape York and Foulke Fiord, certain plants are most at 

 home, as all Saxifrages (except S. opposUifoUa), and especially 

 b.cernua, Stellarta lovyipes, Lychnis affinis, Ranunculus sulphureui 

 Alopecurus alpmus, Ccrastium alpinum, Salix arctica, and most 

 mosses, especially Splachna. On the other hand, the species which 

 seem to take first to freshly- formed glacial mud, free from organic 

 matter, are Papaver nudicaule (especially the form P. alpinum), 

 Umbos, Braya atpina, Saxtfraga oppostefotia, Care., fulimnoM, 



Phippsia alyula, Dn/Hs, PotentUla nirm, Lychnis a petal,,, Poas, and 

 testucas, Krwphora, and most lichens may be included as mowing 

 upon inorganic rock. °
