Sermilik inlet on 66° 30' lal. N. and 38° long. W., so that the 

 most southern point examined is the Adloe-Dal at Кар Dan 

 (Naujanguit). The very west side of the Sermilik inlet I have 

 found no opportunity of examining in its outer southern part, 

 and it is therefore natural for me to stop here. However, the 

 limit is scarcely good from a botanical point of view as this 

 west side, as far 1 can see, must have quite a similar vegetation 

 to the district described here though somewhat influenced by 

 the slight extent of the land free from ice. The right limit 

 ought perhaps to be traced 25' more west at the western point 

 of the outer end of the inlet, Nukajik. 



The district south (west) of this, Inigsalik, will certainly 

 w"hen examined more exactly show a similar character to the 

 region north of 66° 20' lat. N-, the area being narrow between 

 the inland ice and the sea without any belt of rocks and 

 islands along the coast. But certainly it will turn out to be 

 of a more southern type. Practically it is still unknown from 

 a botanical point of view. 



This district, Angmagsalik, forms geographically spoken a 

 whole, this part of the coast being characterized by being free 

 from ice on a very broad area, by the large far penetrating 

 inlets and by the numerous islands along the coast among 

 which the Angmagsalik island takes the foremost place. It 

 forms like Scoresby-Sund, an oasis, as it were, on the coast 

 besides so poor. 



All inlets and sounds together with the islands except 

 some of those farthest out have been visited and examined 

 though in a very different degree. While for instance the en- 

 virons of the trading station, Tasiusak, and the ramiOcations 

 of the Angmagsalik inlet have been relatively thoroughly exa- 

 mined and will scarcely contribute any more to the flora of 

 the Phanerogams, several of the most eastern points were only 

 visited once, abt. 2 hours for every locality. Still, this is but of 

 slight import, for 1 have when staying for a rather long time
