236 HERMAN G. SIMMONS. 



quarters the following day. Unfortunately I had opportunity to 

 make only a very short trip on shore and to collect a little, 

 mostly grasses, that were this year unusually tall and luxuriant. 

 I also took away some living plants, which I succeeded in get- 

 ting back to Christiania planted in boxes. They are now in the 

 botanical gardens of that town. 



In Godhavn I refrained from making any excursions when 

 we visited that harbour on the way back as I could not count 

 upon preparing the collections during the return journey from 

 Greenland. 



The specific names used in the preceeding account are mostly 

 those of the usual floristic handbooks, especially Lange's Con- 

 spectus Florae groenlandicae, but as there will be many cases, in 

 which they will have to be altered according to the laws of 

 nomenclature I have thought it superfluous to insert here the 

 names of the authors or, save in a few cases, any citations. 



The botanical work during the expedition can be summari- 

 zed as follows: 



1) Collections and some observations made in Danish Green- 

 land (1898). 



2) Observations and collections made in Foulkefjord, IN W 

 Greenland Aug. 1898 and Aug. 1899. 



3) Various botanical work in Ell es mer el and 1898 — 1902: 

 survey of the Hayes Sound territory in 1898—99, inve- 

 stigations on the south coast in 1899 — 1902 from Fram- 

 fjord westward and some also on the west coast up into 

 Baum anns fjord, observations on the vegetation in various 

 localities, plantlists from most places visited, series of obser- 

 vations of radiation, etc. 



4) Excursions on North Devon in 1900 and 1902. 



5) Excursions and collections made on North Kenth and the 

 other smaller islands at the western extremity of Jones 

 Sound in 1901 and 1902.
