230 HERMAN G. SIMMONS. 



Eutrema Edwardsi, Ranunculus affinis, Carex incurva, 

 C. glareosa, Woodsia glabella, Equisetum arvense 



Some of these species were found on a short trip on shore 

 outside Reindeer Point on the morning of the 12th of August, 

 immediately before our departure, unfortunately the length 

 of our stay in F oui kef jord was not previously determined even 

 this time and therefore I could not undertake any longer excur- 

 sions, by means of which I should doubtless have found it pos- 

 sible to make further additions to the list of the rich flora of 

 this place. 



The collections from Foulkefjord contain 251 numbers 

 (phanerogamae 126, vascular cryptogams 4, mosses 70, marine 

 algae 19, freshwater algae, 16, lichens 10, fungi 6). 



After a fortnight spent mostly in the Smith Sound ice, we 

 entered on the 26th of August a previously unknown fjord behind 

 Smith and Cone Islands on the south coast of Ellesmere- 

 land where we stayed two days and where I gathered rather a rich 

 harvest. This inlet, afterwards called Framf jord is surrounded 

 mostly by rocks of the primary formation and a great valley, 

 deap and broad, forms a continuation of it further northward 

 until it is abruptly closed by the front of a glacier, one of the 

 most westerly in the glacial district of east Ellesmereland. On 

 the western side of the fjord another great valley opens out, 

 and this I visited on my first excursion here. The bottom of 

 the valley was for a considerable distance quite green, and the 

 vegetation, which was formed not only of mosses but also of 

 flowering plants in unusually great numbers presented a promi- 

 nent feature in the landscape, certain patches could even boast 

 an attempt at turf, formed by Alopecurus alpinus. I was able 

 here to make the following additions to the Ellesmereland 

 flora: Pedicularis lanata, Armeria sihirica, Saxifraga Hir- 

 culus, Eutrema Edwardsi, Braya purpurascens, Pleuropogon 

 Sahinei, Trisetum suhspicatum, Elyna spicata.
