Uuring the Danish expedition to East Greenland 1900, under 

 the charge of G. Amdrup, we investigated the flora and vegeta- 

 tion of the tracts of land visited by the expedition. 



The route followed by the expedition has been mentioned 

 by N. Hartz in "Medd. om Grønl." vol. XXVII. List of discovered 

 phanerogams and vascular cryptogams is furnished by Chr. 

 Krucse in "Medd. om Grønl." vol. XXX, in which volume is made 

 mention also of the algae, mosses, fungi and lichens collected 

 by us.

July 11^*^— 12^b, The "Antarctic" was riding at anchors 

 in Griper Roads southwest of the extreme point of the cape 

 where the ruins of the German observatory were still to be 

 seen. Across the low tongue of land and across low, flat ground 

 I went towards WNW, away to the big stream which borders 

 Hasenberg towards the east; the stream and the whole of 

 the cleft through which it runs, were as yet for a great deal 

 hidden under huge snow-drifts; here and there the stream had 

 however burst through the ice- and snowcover ; at such places 

 steep snow walls bordered its course. 



Animal life was rather rich ; in the course of this day's 

 march 1 saw 3 musk-oxen ^), 3 hares, one hen-ptarmigan with 

 a numerous hatch of chickens, numbers of snow-sparrows, a

 exceedingly evil-smelling contents of the stomach abt. 99 p. cent of leaves 

 and small branches of Salix arctica; besides single leaves of Lusula, 

 gramineous plants, Dryas and fragments of Stereocaulon.
