A.S a member of the Amdrup Goas t Expedition of 1898 

 — 99, my instructions were to make natural-history investigations 

 both durüng our voyage and while wintering at the trading-station of 

 Angmagsalik. I received two sets of instructions for my guidance 

 from the Commission for the Geological and Geographical investi- 

 gation of Greenland. 



One of these, written by Professor Eug. Warming, consists 

 of four main parts, which are sab-divided into 29 paragraphs, 

 giving very exhaustive directions as to the botanical works to be 

 done during the voyage. The other briefly mentions the geological 

 investigations which were to be made, time and circumstances 

 permitting. As these instructions will undoubtedly be of great 

 interest to others also, and as the former in particular may serve 

 in future as a model, I give them here in extenso. 



Instructions 



given to Chr. Kruuse for the Expedition to East-Greenland in 



1898—99 by Professor Eug. Warming. 



A. Floristic investigations. 



1. At every place visited by the Expedition as many species 

 as possible should be collected. Botanists naturally also 

 like to have as many specimens as possible, but the different 

 species are the main object, the circumstances relating to their 

 distribution being of the greatest importance for the history 

 of the vegetation. From this point of view the interiors of 

 the fjords, which the Expedition will visit, are of especial interest. 

 Well-known and generally distributed species need not be 

 collected when circumstances are unfavourable for the collec- 

 ting, but their names must at any rate be noted. 



2. Please observe the height above sea-level reached by 

 the species, and the snow-limit.
